Paeonia lactiflora 'The Fawn'

Paeonia lactiflora 'The Fawn' is a special and elegant peony that blooms from the middle to the end of the peony season. This exclusive cultivar distinguishes itself with its perfectly formed, richly double pink flowers featuring striking flame-patterned outer petals and unique dark pink speckles. Thanks to these special color variations, each flower has its own character, making 'The Fawn' a true eye-catcher in any border. Furthermore, the large flowers are accompanied by a soft, pleasant fragrance, making this peony a feast for both the eyes and the nose.

The large, double flowers have a classic, symmetrical shape and open in a warm pink hue. The outer petals feature subtle flame-like color nuances, while the inner petals are adorned with striking dark pink speckles. This distinctive pattern gives the flowers a lively and refined appearance rarely found within the Paeonia lactiflora range. No two flowers are exactly alike, which only enhances the charm of this cultivar.

In addition to its exceptional flower colour, 'The Fawn' forms a vigorous, bushy plant with healthy, deeply incised dark green foliage that retains its decorative value even after flowering. As a result, the plant remains a valuable addition to the border throughout the entire growing season. It combines beautifully with white, dark red, and soft pink peonies, but also with perennials such as salvia, lady's mantle, lavender, delphinium, and ornamental grasses.

The large flowers emit a soft, refined fragrance and are excellent as cut flowers. In a vase, they retain their elegant shape and distinctive color pattern for a long time, giving bouquets and floral arrangements an exclusive look.

Paeonia lactiflora 'The Fawn' grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. This hardy perennial requires little maintenance and can continue growing in the same spot for decades. As the plant matures, it develops into an increasingly profusely flowering clump that surprises anew every spring with its unique flowers.

With its perfectly formed, richly filled pink flowers, flame-patterned outer petals, distinctive dark pink speckles, and delicate fragrance, Paeonia lactiflora 'The Fawn' is an exclusive peony that adds elegance, character, and sophistication to any garden.
