Description
Garden Gem, a Japanese, large flower with dense white petals that surround a prominent center of bright, light yellow staminodes. The flowering period is extended by side-buds. Plant habit is outstanding, combining strong stems and season long retention of foliage quality. The leaflets remain green and healthy into late summer.
This is a peony which can take on the more demanding role of mass planting in a designed landscape. It needs no screening after flowering, holding its own with the more structural ornamental choices, making a season-long positive contribution. Garden Gem is a neat plant, excellent choice for the perennial border and the vase.
