Peony ‘Peter Brand’ – The Dark Jewel
Are you looking for a peony with a dramatic and luxurious appearance? The 'Peter Brand' is considered worldwide to be one of the most beautiful dark peonies in existence. This classic variety from the 1930s is loved for its deep, almost mysterious color and elegant presentation. It is a peony that instantly adds a sense of depth and richness to any garden or bouquet.
What makes 'Peter Brand' truly unique is the color of its petals: an intense, dark brownish-red hue with a silky sheen. A few golden yellow stamens peek through the full, double petals here and there, creating a beautiful and exciting contrast. With its neat, tidy bud stage and its ability to grow well anywhere in the world, this is a peony of absolute world class.
Why choose Peter Brand?
Deep, Unique Color: One of the few peonies with a true dark brown-red color that contrasts beautifully with the yellow stamens.
Perfect bud stage: The buds are tight and neat, making them ideal for presentation in the cut flower trade.
Global Favorite: A very strong plant that thrives anywhere in the world, from Dutch clay to gardens far beyond the border.
Mid-Late Bloomer: The ideal variety to add color to the transition to the end of the peony season.
