Peony Lavon

Paeonia herbaceous hybrid "Lavon". Layers of pink petals and soft yellow staminodes form a graceful double flower.

The long stems are ideal for a romantic display in the garden or in a vase. To hold the clusters of large flowers they will need some support. The flowers are delicately scented. This is a healthy variety that may take a few years to fully establish. But as the saying goes: first the roots then the shoots, however it is well worth the wait.

The variety is named after Lavon, who became a true peony enthusiast alongside Don Hollingsworth in developing a thriving commercial peony nursery in Maryville. Throughout these years she immensely enjoyed attending the annual APS conventions, kindling dear friendships and promoting Hollingsworth varieties and propagations. She welcomed me into their home and sharing her love of dogs and peonies made for easy conversation. 

Parentage P. "Nippon Gold" x P. "Cytherea".
