The Peony variety Jessie Guest is a perennial plant with lush double flowers ranging from 18 to 20 centimeters in diameter. Its delicate pink flowers, featuring subtle creamy and red hues, create an exquisite and romantic image, complemented by a sweet fruity-caramel aroma. Robust straight flower stems and a compact bush height of about 70-80 centimeters make this variety convenient for cultivation and use in floristry.
The peony foliage is dense, large, dark green with a silvery tint, which beautifully accentuates the tenderness of the flowers. The variety is characterized by a late blooming period, which extends the season of decorativeness in the garden. Thanks to high resistance to diseases, winter hardiness, drought tolerance, and the ability to withstand sun exposure without fading, Jessie Guest will become a reliable and striking ornament for any garden.
This variety belongs to the P. lactiflora group and was described in 1953. It is well adapted to various climatic conditions, tolerating frosts down to -40 degrees. Jessie Guest is valued by florists for its decorativeness, aroma, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for peony enthusiasts and professional gardeners.
