Peony ‘Shirley Temple’ – The Reliable Promise

Are you looking for a peony that performs year after year and never disappoints? The 'Shirley Temple' is a household name in the peony world. Named after the famous child star, this flower exudes exactly the same innocence and charm. It is one of the most prized varieties for both professional cut flower cultivation and private gardens.

What makes the 'Shirley Temple' so fascinating is its color transformation. The buds open with a soft, romantic blush of pink. As the flower unfolds further, this fades to a beautiful pure white. At the heart of the fully filled flower, subtle, small red markings (flames) can often be found, giving it an extra characterful detail. Because it blooms about a week before the well-known 'Festiva Maxima', it is an essential variety for opening the white peony season early.

Why choose Shirley Temple?

• Exceptionally Reliable: Known as one of the most stable and productive peonies for the cut flower market.
