Paul's notes
Romantically described as "soft apricot cream" the colour of this flower is difficult to describe, and difficult to photograph accurately (since digital cameras don't seem to capture shades of yellow very well - to my eye).
With pleasing hints of gold and pink within the light yellow, this fully double peony opens to a size of about 150mm (6"). With pleasing sealed flower buds, it flowers about 2 weeks after the first Red Charm (mid/late by A/P.S registration guidelines). It seems to cut well.
The average height at maturity is about 900 mm (36") and doesn't need support for garden display.
Flowering at the same time
Grow these together for a fuller cut in the same week, or choose from the flowering sequence to spread the season.
