Bloom Period: Week 6
Fragrance: Good
Side Buds: 1 or 2 per stem
Comments: This is a late flowering, tall peony with a distinctive flower colour. The flowers are a pale dusky pink and have row upon row of tightly packed petals hiding a lemon yellow centre. It is to my eye one of the prettiest double pink peonies. Foliage height is average but flowers are produced on long stems making the overall plant when in bloom quite tall. These long stems also mean that ‘James Pillow’ is an excellent cut flower.
