Duchesse she is not, she is truly 'The Queen'. Duchesse de Nemours has been going strong since 1856. The beauty is the whitest of all of our peony cultivars. Her fragrant and pure white milky petals make her pairable with just about any other peony colour. Duchesse is often used to lined walkways in home gardens because of her glorious scent. She is the top choice of commercial flower growers for her prolific nature and versatility in floral design work.
I’m sure you can see her now, either as a stand alone show stopper in your garden or interspersed between your favourite pink or bicoloured peony like Kansas (hot pink) or Raspberry Sundae (deep pink & white bicolour).
