Glasscock / Falk 1955
Herbaceous Hybrid
Flowers carried well above the foliage. This is a knockout peony that reliably produces numerous flowers. The petals have a very distinct white flare at their base and like many brightly coloured hybrids, the petal colour fades gracefully from deep pink to almost white before the petals finally drop. No staking required. I highly recommend this peony.

A Note on Observations
Observations of height, side buds, and staking are from Hudson, Quebec (zone 5a) grown in full sun, in a clay based soil. In different environments plants will perform slightly different. Instead of 1 to 2 side buds per stem, you may have none. If growing in slightly shadier environment, your peony may require staking. The observations are meant as a general guide, in how your peony should perform in optimal planting. In the case of fragrance, these are observations based on personal sniff tests in the field, we must bear in mind our olfactory senses are all different.
American Peony Society Award of Landscape Merit
Peony cultivars bestowed this award are chosen for superior ornamental value, overall appearance in the landscape throughout the growing season, and reliable performance across North America. Plants are required to be self-supporting in wide ranging weather conditions and reliably display their flowers. Special attention is given to foliage quality throughout the growing season. ALM peonies should provide gardeners and landscapers with superior plants that can be expected to demonstrate excellence in the landscape.
