Blonde Vision (Hollingsworth 2010) Herbaceous Hybrid. Early Midseason, it flowers about the same time or shortly before Red Charm. A very Double form.

Many petals lightly cupped and incurved in a neatly sculptured flower. The color is light yellow with soft red-pink highlights at center and a reddish glow from the depths of the flower, arising from red-pink flares at the petal bases. A gorgeous flower when it is right. However, the developing buds are vulnerable to late freeze injury, suffering frost damage most seasons in our Central Midwest climate. Recommended for landscape use only in regions that do not experience harsh cold fronts during spring warm up. This plant is an important example of attainable breeding goals in the development of early flowering fully doubled flower forms in the modern early hybrids of peony, the name registered now to preserve its history. Generally one flower per stem on a 30-inch spreading bush, which holds together well while in flower. Medium green leaflets. Parentage ('Sunny Boy' x 'Nancy'), presumed tetraploid, some flowers will have a few natural stamens and small carpels with normal stigmas. Item 2555. $24.00
