Introducing a peony that delights the senses! Honey Gold is a joy to behold, a pleasure to touch and a delight to smell. Plant this velvety, fragrant peony close to an entry or open window where the scent and remembrance of them will follow visitors indoors. These large, fully double, 6" blooms provide fantastic impact and loads of gorgeous color to borders, feature beds and cutting gardens. Gold and white bomb-type blooms feature striking, pink-flushed white centers—the classic imperial-type form is sure to attract attention. A very long-lived perennial that will impress for years, maybe even decades, to come!

Yes, these are AMAZING! I bought these for my Daughter when she bought her new home. She planted them in the Fall, and they bloomed the NEXT SPRING! I usually don't look for blooming on new peony plantings until, at least, the second or third Spring after planting in the prior Fall. Both my daughter, and I, were completely AMAZED!!! with the beautiful blooms! Needless to say we are buying more this Fall. PS- They shipped huge roots with plenty of eye's (if you know what you are 👀 looking 👀 for!)
