Paeonia Pastel Splendor
This 1996 Bill Seidel intersectional peony introduction (from Roger Anderson seed), produces large 10″ wide flowers that emerge pastel yellow, highlighted by prominent maroon blotches in the center. As the yellow flowers age, they become suffused with light pink that progresses from the petal tips toward the center. Paeonia ‘Pastel Splendor’ makes a stunning, occasional reflowering, 3′ tall, deer-resistant specimen with very sturdy stems, and great heat-tolerance thanks to its tree peony genes.
