Paeonia 'Apricot Queen'
Paeonia 'Apricot Queen' is a rare peony with a colour palette that feels almost painted by hand. The blooms open in soft apricot, sometimes brushed with lavender-pink tones and finished with a deeper rosy flare at the base of each petal, which gives the flowers an unusual depth and delicacy. Despite this refined appearance, Paeonia 'Apricot Queen' is no fragile beauty. It has the sturdy constitution and vigorous growth you would hope for from a fine hybrid peony, forming handsome clumps of lush foliage and producing blooms with real presence in late spring to early summer. For gardeners who enjoy plants with individuality, Paeonia lactiflora 'Apricot Queen' offers something just a little less predictable than the usual pinks and whites.
There is also a wonderful versatility to Paeonia 'Apricot Queen'. In the border, it brings a warm, luminous note that flatters silvers, mauves and deep plum shades beautifully, while as a cut flower it has all the poise and quiet drama one could want indoors. The flowers are distinctive rather than flashy, which somehow makes them all the more memorable. Paeonia 'Apricot Queen' is particularly prized by collectors, but it is by no means reserved for specialists alone. Anyone with a weakness for unusual flower colours and garden-worthy performance will find Paeonia lactiflora 'Apricot Queen' easy to admire and rather difficult to forget.
