Characteristics

Paeonia Fringed Ivory is a late-season lactiflora peony distinguished by its refined double blooms in ivory white — sometimes with a softly feathered edge that lends the variety its name. With high productivity and the presence of side buds, it delivers not just quantity, but uniformity: a reliable performer for both open-field production and professional cut flower cultivation. Stems are of standard length, making handling and post-harvest processing efficient. Introduced in 1989, Fringed Ivory has earned its place as a mainstay among growers who value both ornamental elegance and commercial consistency.

Origin Fringed Ivory Peony

As part of the Paeonia lactiflora group — a lineage native to East Asia — Fringed Ivory inherits a tradition of resilience and refined floral architecture. These peonies have been cultivated in Chinese gardens for centuries and were later embraced across Europe for their structured growth, repeat performance, and suitability to temperate climates.

LACTIFLORA
The lactiflora type is known for its robust root structure, fragrant flowering habit, and ease of propagation. In contrast to more volatile hybrids, lactifloras deliver seasonal regularity — a valued trait in both ornamental horticulture and commercial cut flower production. Fringed Ivory exemplifies this type’s strengths: formality in bloom, field vigor, and a dependable flush of flowers even under variable conditions.
