Peony ‘Claire de Lune’ – A Mystical Moonlight in Your Spring (1954)

Let your garden come to life with the serene beauty of the Claire de Lune. This exceptional hybrid, introduced in 1954 by Wild & Son, is known for its unique cream-yellow color and an elegance that almost literally illuminates the flower bed.

The Claire de Lune is a peony for connoisseurs. Its large, cup-shaped flowers consist of silky-soft, slightly crinkled petals that embrace a radiant center of golden-yellow stamens. In the spring, the plant also delights with beautiful pink emerging foliage, creating a spectacular contrast. Thanks to its long, sturdy stems, this peony variety makes for an elegant display that not only graces the garden but also brings a touch of “vintage luxury” to your vase.

Why choose Claire de Lune?

• Unique Color: A rare, soft cream-yellow hue that pairs beautifully with both white and brightly colored flowers.

• Early Spring Herald: As one of the earliest bloomers, it heralds the start of peony season in spectacular fashion.

• Enchanting Contrast: The golden-yellow center on the "plate" of light-colored petals immediately catches the eye (and is a favorite of bees!).

• Vigorous Growth: A fast-growing plant with stiff, sturdy stems and a deliciously sweet fragrance that lingers subtly in the air.

Grower's tip: Take extra pleasure in the spectacle of early spring; the pink hues of the young foliage are almost as decorative as the flowers themselves. Give it a spot where the morning sun can make the petals glow like moonlight.
