Peony ‘Puffed Cotton’ – The Modern White Classic
Are you looking for the perfect white peony that combines modern vigor with a nostalgic look? The 'Puffed Cotton' is a relatively young variety (2003) that is quickly becoming a firm favorite. As the name suggests, this plant produces flowers that are so full, white, and soft that they resemble large balls of freshly picked cotton.
