Duchesse de Nemours is a classic peony celebrated for its lush, creamy white blooms and refined fragrance. Flowers measure five to six inches across, opening from tight green buds into full, softly layered petals that bring timeless elegance to the garden and vase. Its bright white petals with a buttery center make it a natural choice for bridal work, while its medium-sized blooms pair beautifully with other varieties for a balanced, harmonious arrangement. As a jumbo variety, expect a larger plant and blooms within the first or second year of growth.
