Description: A dream of a peony in a pastel salmon pink colour that is most unusual in peonies. You will fall in love in a single, fleeting glance. Flowers are large, cupped and semi-double in form, increasing in fullness on well grown, mature plants. Beautiful lustrous, glossy foliage. Consistently sought after and in high demand. It is worth noting that Salmon Dream’s accolades include the APS triple crown - APS Gold Medal in 2008, Award of Landscape Merit in 2009, and APS Best in Show in 2015 - making it a must-grow variety. Has a proven track record of producing terrific offspring and has seen heavy use as a breeder plant.
