The Moon of Nippon Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Moon of Nippon') is a magnificent perennial plant bred in 1936 by the breeder Auten Jr. It features an early summer blooming period and serves as an exquisite garden ornament. The peony blooms are semi-double, Japanese-shaped, of moderate size, snow-white with a yellow center, giving them a resemblance to a sunny-side-up egg. The purity of the color and the unique petal arrangement create a harmonious and attractive appearance. The flower diameter reaches about 17 cm.
The plant boasts strong, straight stems of medium height—ranging from 80 to 100 cm—covered with healthy green leaves. Numerous secondary buds on the stems contribute to extending the blooming period, making it abundant and prolonged. The Moon of Nippon Peony is known for its high resistance to weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for various climate zones.
In addition to its decorative qualities, this peony is excellent for cutting due to its long stems and striking flowers. It will make a wonderful addition both in the garden and in floral arrangements, delighting with its beauty and elegance throughout the blooming season.
