Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Luxor’ opens mid-season with the commanding fullness of a classic — a dense, double white bloom with a texture reminiscent of finely pressed linen. Each flower is deeply packed yet perfectly contained, offering a structural harmony that reads as both ornamental and efficient. When grown in rows, the uniformity is striking: heads balanced, stems upright, and colour consistent across the bed. Side buds increase stem production without disrupting bloom shape, making ‘Luxor’ a reliable force in white peony output.

Origin LUXOR Peony

Introduced in 1933, ‘Luxor’ comes from a period in peony breeding where form, scale, and repeatability defined quality. Its lactiflora heritage is rooted in function — robust stems, field adaptability, and visual longevity. Over the decades, ‘Luxor’ has remained a benchmark for growers seeking a white peony that delivers volume without disorder, and presence without fragility. It’s not a showoff, but it always shows up.

LACTIFLORA

As a lactiflora peony, ‘Luxor’ offers dependable performance in a professional setting. The combination of strong side buds and a well-filled centre makes it ideal for mid-season field production, especially where clean lines and consistent stem output are key. Its height is manageable, the posture is tidy, and the overall aesthetic is one of composed strength — precisely what is needed in a cut-flower white.
