President Taft (Blaauw 1909) Lactiflora Group. Late Midseason to Late. Full Double.

Many light pink petals make up a very large, exhibition quality flower. The American Peony Society cultivar checklist declares this is a synonym for Reine Hortense (Carlot 1857) but does not say whether because too similiar to tell them apart or re-registered by mistake. At any rate, ours wins blue ribbons and is an excellent performer. Benefits by support in a stormy spring. Item 0080. $18.00
