I had the chance to see a couple of plants of this variety in full bloom a few days ago, and I’ll have to say, I can’t remember seeing a more charming peony plant. The flowers were smallish, but that didn’t make much difference, given how strikingly attractive it was, with the flowers sitting altogether at the same height on the top of the plant. I’m not sure how long the flowers on the plant will stay looking good, maybe just a few days ? But seeing this unusually variety made a real impression on me, when it was fresh and looking good.

The flowers tend to hold quite well. Five days later now and the flowers still look good. Here’s a close-up of a flower that was open back then. It has paled of course but there’s still some pink blush on the sides and I think it’s still very attractive.

That may take a while. The article was originally written in 2013 and offers the description of the flowering plants then (which had at the time not yet been named). Those were all plants of which there was only

I haven’t followed up on it and I don’t grow any of them myself. You’re right to ask for it after so much time. It’s strange, I don’t see it listed on any of the of the supply lists of the growers I mentioned back then. If it would grow normally I’d expect it to be available by now, at least in small numbers. You could ask any of those growers (and Warmerdam as well) to see if they could sell one or ask when they’ll become ‘for sale’. Sometimes they don’t list the things where they only have a few of.

‘Blushing Princess’ parentage seems to bring good stems and larger plants with it, whatever it’s involved with. I’m seeing quite a few BP seedlings this year, and stem strength is a notable quality with many of them.
