I obtained my plant from a long time Saunders peony collector who had purchased it from the former Caprice Farms. I have now shared it with a few others including Hamilton College.\u00a0 Its flowers are rather small and sparse and its foliage declines early, reflecting its tenuifolia<\/em> heritage.\u00a0 Its main claim to fame is as the parent of ‘Nosegay’, a highly regarded early cultivar.<\/span><\/p>\n
