Paeonia lactiflora 'Puffed Cotton'

Paeonia lactiflora 'Puffed Cotton' is a stunning peony that excels during the mid-season with its enormous, richly filled flowers and refined appearance.

With its large, dinnerplate-sized flowers in a creamy off-white color and a subtle, pleasant fragrance, 'Puffed Cotton' is a true eye-catcher in any garden.

The impressive flowers are among the largest in the Paeonia lactiflora range. The fully double petals combine to form a lush, round flower with a luxurious appearance. The soft creamy white color gives the plant timeless elegance and combines effortlessly with almost all other garden plants. A beautiful contrast is created when combined with pink, red, or purple peonies, while perennials such as salvia, lady's mantle, delphinium, lavender, and ornamental grasses ensure a harmonious and atmospheric border.

In addition to their impressive size, the flowers of 'Puffed Cotton' emit a soft, pleasant fragrance that fills the garden with a subtle perfume during flowering. This makes this cultivar a feast not only for the eyes but also for the senses. Furthermore, the large flowers are excellent as cut flowers. They open beautifully in the vase and retain their elegant shape and fresh color for a long time, making them ideal for luxurious bouquets and stylish floral arrangements.

Paeonia lactiflora 'Puffed Cotton' forms a vigorous, bushy plant with sturdy, deeply incised dark green foliage that remains decorative even after flowering. This hardy perennial grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. Once well established, the plant requires little maintenance and can grow in the same spot for decades. As the plant matures, it develops into an increasingly profusely flowering clump.

With its enormous, richly filled creamy white flowers, delicate fragrance, and elegant appearance, Paeonia lactiflora 'Puffed Cotton' is an excellent choice for lovers of large-flowered, classic peonies. This exclusive cultivar brings years of luxury, tranquility, and sophistication to every garden.
