Description
Seashell is a single flower form, Lactiflora peony. The flower opens sell pink with a yellow center. Large, broad petals surround a cluster of pollen bearing, yellow stamens and the pale carpels with pinkish stigmas. The flower has a polished form with good substance and remains one of the best singles available.
The bush has an excellent plant habit, it is vigorous and is of above average increase, growing a large, tall bush within four years of planting. It is a reliable bloomer with a generous amount of color each year. Long stems hold the flower above the canopy of foliage; the bush retains its form even when exposed to inclement weather. Staking is typically not necessary.
Seashell does well in the mixed perennial border, mass planting and the pollinator garden.
