A peony’s whole character is in the centre \u2014 dozens of short, crumpled inner petals packed tight and slightly inward, with the yellow stamens only just visible in the gap. Cheap versions build the flower from a few large identical petals in a neat spiral and leave the middle either sealed shut or gaping open, which is why they read as roses that have gone wrong.<\/p>\n
This one is layered properly: broad outer petals falling back and away, a dense crumpled heart above them, and a warm blush deepening from the petal edge into the centre rather than being sprayed on flat. At 12 cm across, the head is close to a real garden peony in full blow, and it’s set on the stem with a slight nod forward \u2014 peony heads are heavy, and one that stands perfectly upright always looks wrong.<\/p>\n
The bud on its own short side shoot is worth having too: green sepals still wrapped around a barely-showing petal, which is what makes the stem look like a cutting rather than a display flower. Leaves are the broad lobed peony shape, matte with raised veining, on a woody stem that darkens toward the base.<\/p>\n
Three stems fill a jug or a ginger jar; one on its own works in a narrow bud vase. Trims with secateurs, holds a slight bend, and needs nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
