Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Early Sensation’ signals the season’s turning point with confident clarity. Its semi-double blooms in vivid pink unfurl just as other varieties still slumber, giving commercial growers a valuable head start. This hybrid cultivar, reaching 60 cm in stem length, combines aesthetic appeal with production logic: few side buds for streamlined harvesting, high productivity for consistent yields. Whether for protected cultivation or open-field cut flower production, ‘Early Sensation’ offers both visual impact and operational efficiency.

Origin of Early Sensation Peony

Since its introduction in 1999, ‘Early Sensation’ has established itself as a dependable workhorse in the early hybrid segment. Developed through cross-species breeding, it reflects decades of genetic refinement aimed at combining floricultural performance with horticultural resilience. The result is a plant that doesn’t just bloom early—it does so with discipline, delivering uniform stems and striking colour long before the bulk of the market wakes up.

Merging the compact durability of herbaceous types with the structural advantages of tree peonies, this group is prized for traits that matter to growers: early flowering, robust stems, and minimal maintenance. Their value lies not in extravagance but in precision—and this variety is a textbook example.
