Peony Registry

Seedling X2-J. Parentage: ‘Northrepps’ x ‘Grand Massive.’ SEMI-DOUBLE to FULL DOUBLE flower form. Early midseason flowering. Pale cream flowers washed pale mauve-pink; interior of guards veined silver. Fairly large flowers (16 cm, 6½ inches), 2 per stem. The 6 cm (2½ inches) wide guards are more or less rounded and smooth, with softly lime green flares shifting toward pure green down at base and toward occasional hints of pink near the guard edge. Green carpels with dark pink stigmas are embedded in 4 cm (1½ inch) pale yellow stamens. Insignificant fragrance. The support-craving, semi-upright stems are at least 95 cm (38 inches), with a moderate amount of pointed, rather narrow leaflets. The essence of this variety lies in the handsome refinement of its luxurious arrangement of petals.
