Lemon Chiffon
Yellow peonies, and certainly double-flowered ones, will always have that special je ne sais quoi. But Lemon Chiffon has an additional card up its stem. It starts out as a single-flowered peony but after a few years magically transforms into a double-flowered peony!

Summer yellow
Lemon Chiffon is a beautiful, summer yellow peony that is semi-double flowered for the first two to three years. After four years it officially becomes a full-flowered peony. Also the buds are large and the flowers can grow to be about 20 cm wide. Huge!
Challenge
This peony blooms early in mid-season, matures quickly and often suffers damage when grown outside. All that makes growing Lemon Chiffon a tough job, but also nice challenge. One that is well worth the trouble, because a double-flowered yellow peony should be part of every assortment!
Origin
Lemon Chiffon was registered in 1981 by the American breeder Reath. Two famous Lemon Chiffon ancestors are Salmon Dream and Moonrise, another yellow showpiece.
