Peony ‘Primevère’
Description
Plants have narrow leaves with long, thin stems topped with blush buds. Medium-size flowers have dense buttermilk petals encircled by a blush double-layered collar. Blooms have a sweet minty fragrance.
Details
Type: anemone
Bloom time: mid
Site: full sun
Harvesting/Vase Life
Cut stems can also be stored for later use; they will last for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator. When storing, remove almost all of the leaves; bunch the stems together, and slip them into a plastic bag with a few paper towels inside to absorb any excess moisture. Lay them flat on the shelf in the produce area of the fridge and then check every few days for signs of mold. Discard any that begin to rot. Upon removal, the flowers often look limp but don’t worry. Recut the stems and place them immediately in warm water with flower preservative. The buds will open within 24 hours, and the blooms will last a good week in the vase.
