- Double white · A whisper of blush
- Bloom window
- Midseason
That Peony Farm’s Saskatchewan season runs from mid-June to late July. This variety’s bloom window is relative to our season, not a guaranteed date. Mother Nature has the final say.
Gardenia was named for her striking resemblance to the gardenia flower, and she’s the calm, graceful one in the family. Her huge, perfectly layered white petals carry a whisper of blush at the centre, like a bride’s cheeks just before the vows. She doesn’t shout for attention, but everyone remembers her.
White peonies have long been linked to new beginnings and purity of heart, which makes Gardenia ideal for weddings, christenings, and sympathy work.
A note for florists
A classic white that photographs like a dream and gives you a second white to explore after Festiva Maxima. Ask about stems for your summer weddings; availability depends on the season.
