Late. A best landscaper. Semidouble to sometimes a nearly full
center; heavily substanced petals open yellow gold, lightly flared

extended flowering period among peonies, up to four weeks in cooler
climates. Flowers are great in the garden or in the vase. Bush is
vigorous, medium height, arching but stiff stems make a widely
spreading silhouette. Well-grown plants may form up to a five-foot
wide mound at maturity, yielding four to five dozen blossoms over an
extended period. Cool green, semi-glossy leaflets are intermediate in
form between the parents, leathery and durable. APS seedling
