Peony ‘Nick Shaylor’ – Award-winning Romance in Pastel
Are you looking for a peony that only gets more beautiful with age? The 'Nick Shaylor' is a true aristocrat among peonies. As a two-time winner of the APS Gold Medal (1941 & 1969), this variety has proven that its beauty effortlessly stands the test of time. It is the ultimate choice for lovers of soft pastel shades and strong, healthy growth.
What makes 'Nick Shaylor' so fascinating is its development. The bloom begins with a charming pink bud, which slowly unfolds into a large, richly filled flower in a dreamy light pink shade.
