Paeonia 'Shirley Temple'
Superlative in every way and one of the best of all garden peonies! Huge fragrant double flowers opening a beautiful pale blush pink and soon changing to purest white. If grown in partial shade, the flowers will retail their pinky hue for longer and will also be darker on the shady side of the flower than on the sunny side! An outstanding variety for cutting, the plants have a solid upright habit with firm stems and good foliage which colors well in the autumn. Grows to approx 90cm in height and is also one of the last peonies to flower.
Paeonia 'Catharina Fontijn'
If you want one of the best of all white peonies for cutting then this is one to plant! The buds are slow to open, teasing you with the promise of the wonderful display to come. They start off showing a pale pink blush but quickly turn to pure white. These large and beautiful flowers are both sweetly scented and long lasting making them really good for cutting. Although a taller growing peony often to around 95cm or so, it is a good one for the back of the border, and its strong dark stems mean that staking is rarely necessary. (Van der Valk 1952).
Paeonia 'Festiva Maxima'
One of the most enigmatic of peonies with large double white flowers that have random crimson flecking a bit like raspberry ripple ice cream. Every flower is unique and the amount of red flecking will vary from season to season so you never quite know what to expect! One of the very old and very famous french fragrant peonies, excellent for cutting with its strong stems and dark green lustrous foliage. A thoroughly excellent and reliable peony. Can be quite tall to 95cm so may need staking in a windy garden. (Miellez 1851).
