Yellow Crown’ may become the crown jewel of your garden. A rare but prized cross between a herbaceous white flowered Peony and a yellow flowered Tree Peony, ‘Yellow Crown’ gives you the glorious flower form of a Tree Peony yet dies to the ground in the winter the way a herbaceous Peony will. If all that is confusing, here is the part that is not: You will be thrilled by this selection’s massive 10″ diameter, fragrant, semi-double yellow flower offset with red at the center. Just its sheer size would be enough to impress but its form, color and fragrance push this easy to grow garden aristocrat into a league all its own. ‘Yellow Crown’ loves full sun and deep, moist, well drained soil, will bloom in late May and early June and its stems are strong enough to hold up its massive flowers without staking! While its blooming time is fleeting, it is oh so memorable.
