Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Hermione’ reveals itself slowly—layer by layer—in a soft pink bloom that feels almost theatrical in form. The fully double flowers, richly petalled and delicately scented, sit atop firm, upright stems that hold their elegance through wind and time. With a height of around 90 cm and a flowering window in midseason, Hermione lends both structure and scent to borders, production fields, and collector plots. Its pastel tones pair effortlessly with classic garden palettes, while the foliage remains a steady, handsome backdrop throughout the growing season.

Origin Hermione Peony

Hermione belongs to the esteemed lactiflora group—a species native to East Asia and celebrated for its floral abundance. For centuries, Paeonia lactiflora has been cultivated for ornamental and botanical purposes, serving as the foundation for countless cultivars worldwide. Its generous bloom habit and fragrance make it a cornerstone of professional peony breeding, valued for both stability and aesthetic impact.

LACTIFLORA

Lactiflora peonies stand out for their reliability, abundance, and perennial resilience. As herbaceous types, they return yearly with a well-defined cycle and minimal intervention—offering consistency in both yield and quality. Hermione exemplifies this with its poised stature and productivity, making it a logical fit for commercial growers, landscape designers, and private enthusiasts seeking dependable elegance.
