Description
Paeonia herbaceous hybrid 'Nosegay'. This cutie is one of our favourites. With its early blooms, it heralds the start of the peony season. Its simple, softly scented flowers, in a blend of soft pastels, grace the finely dissected, lime-green foliage. Its parentage includes tenuifolia and mlokosewitchii.
In medieval times, a nosegay was a small bouquet of flowers designed to please the nose. Posy holders, often made of silver, were used to wear these at your waist or in your hair. I can easily imagine 'Nosegay' being part of this tradition.
Registered with the "American Peony Society" in 1950.
