LA PEPPERMINT

White striped carmine to pale pink striped carmine. Medium rose form double. Bushy upright growth. Early to mid season bloom. Will sometimes sport a red bloom or combination red/white bloom.

GROWER NOTES:

Very popular here in the deep South but its origin is unclear—most likely from Louisiana, thus the ‘LA’ in the name. Very good grower.

White striped rose pink. Medium semi-double with broad wavy edged petals. Slow bushy growth with holly like foliage. Mid to late season bloom.

GROWER NOTES:

This old favorite introduced in 1887, is still attracting attention with its multiple color blooms. Usually white striped pink but changing to white edged pink to solid red or even 1/2 red and 1/2 white. Often there are several different color blooms at the same time. A fun plant & dependable, compact grower.

This flower will cause one to do a double take. It has a distinct yellow shadow that is hard to reproduce in a photo. The bloom itself looks very similar to White by the Gate. Very interesting. Our cuttings originated from members of the Coker family.

Nice white peony bloom but seems to be a little shy about blooming. Maybe my plant needs to age a few years before it really puts on a show.

Very nice red and white peony bloom that is a regular winner in flower shows. Plant is a good grower but not so aggressive it requires lots of pruning.

MAGNOLIAEFLORA

Blush pink. Medium semi-double. Average compact growth. Mid season bloom.

GROWER NOTES:

This picture doesn't do the bloom justice. It is blush pink, somewhat lotus form and looks like it is made of porcelain. An old variety introduced in 1886 but still going strong. The plant is a compact grower and would do well in a courtyard situation where space is limited.

HISTORIC - 1886

Sport of ‘Aspasia MacArthur’. White to cream white with a few rose red lines and dashed and edged bright vermillion Slow upright growth . Full peony form. Early to mid season bloom.

MARGARET RATCLIFF

Blush pink. Medium semi-double. Vigorous open upright growth.  Mid season bloom.

GROWER NOTES:

I've seen Margaret Ratcliff blooming 3 days after a hard freeze has damaged most other blooms. Similar to Magnoliaeflora but semi double rather than lotus form. Vigorous grower.

Another great introduction from Dr Walter Homeyer. This plant is an early to mid season medium pink formal-when "gibbed" it will easily fall into the large category. Slow to bud up as a young plant but a heavy bud setter after the first couple of years.
