Fertile both ways and produces large round seeds. Medium height plant (32 inches; 81 cm) with good stem strength (slightly spreading plant habit) and deep green, wide leaves. Bill Seidl garden named this plant &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;Just Peachy&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039; eight years ago, after it had been growing in his garden for some 30 years. His interest in hybridizing herbaceous peonies took a break for an extended period and many seedlings, including &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;Just Peachy&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;, were allowed to grow into very large clumps. Around 2000 the internet became more accessible and Bill began to frequent forums and correspond with other enthusiasts. He realized that a renewed interest in peonies was building and discovered he had many hidden gems. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;Just Peachy&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039; is a good example of Bill&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;s renewed interest due to his ability to correspond with others through electronic media. He truly enjoyed the many new friends that he made through the many emails and forums that the internet afforded. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;Just Peachy&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039; was a plant that Bill believed had a large upside to hybridizing and would be a great garden plant for the peony enthusiast.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; href=&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;https://www.peonysociety.org/registered_peonies/just-peachy/&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; &amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Just Peachy&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;, a pale beige colour. Semi-double on short stems. Clean buds, including the <a class="wpg-linkify wpg-tooltip" title="&lt;div class=&quot;wpg-tooltip-content&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;sepal: each of the parts of the calyx of a flower, enclosing the petals and typically green and leaflike&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;" href="https://www.peonysociety.org/registered_peonies/sepals/" >sepals</a>. Large buds also and sturdy stems with foliage all the way down to the ground. A very good early peony.

Garden named &amp;#039;Valkyrie&amp;#039;. Dark red loose double. Large flowers that have shiny petals and glowing rich deep color. Fertile both ways. Choice flowers, but plant habit requires mechanical support due to long stems between leaves and flowers. As a parent Valkyrie produces a wide range of colors and forms. Recommended for hybridizers as the plant habit require work.
