When I got an email from
Hollingsworth Peonies this past weekend about their new peony cultivars, I was definitely curious. What a nice surprise to find out about a newly registered and currently available intersectional cultivar. The flower's name is Peony 'Sugar Plum Fairy'. The short bush and pale pink flower of this peony seem aptly named after a petite, cotton candy colored ballerina, The Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky being one of my favorite composers and me being a little ballerina for almost 10 years is reason enough to buy it now, and so I did. I'm guessing this little dancer is even pretty than her picture. I've also added this newly offered Peony 'Sugar Plum Fairy' to my
2016 Intersectional Peony Catalog Price Comparison List!

So excited, I ordered it as well! It'll be interesting to compare growth habits between our 2 zones!
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteThat's awesome! Yes, you'll have to leave another comment here in the spring to let me know how your peony is growing! :-)
