Paeonia 'Pastelegance' | Pastelegance Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia ‘Pastelegance’ is a semi-double to full-double cultivar with large, fluffy blossoms that open in early to mid-spring, transitioning through soft salmon-pink, champagne, cream, and pastel peach hues—all often present on one flower. The flowers carry a musky-spearmint fragrance and are carried atop strong, upright stems that support each bloom.
The foliage forms a semi-glossy mound of finely divided, deep green leaves that remain attractive into early summer, providing lasting structure after flowering ends. Pastelegance is a prolific bloomer, producing abundant cut-worthy stems that hold well in arrangements. Recognized with an American Peony Society Gold Medal in 2022, this cultivar combines decorative longevity, fragrance, and floral elegance in garden and vase settings.
