Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Majesty’s Scepter’ stands upright in the mid-season field with semi-double blooms in soft, silken pink. The flower builds vertically, with gently cupped outer petals supporting a finely ruffled centre — giving the whole bloom a posture reminiscent of a ceremonial staff. With no side buds, each stem focuses its energy on one bloom, resulting in high stem quality and uniformity across the block. It’s a variety that cuts clean, processes smoothly, and adds structure and softness at once.

Origin MAJESTY’S SCEPTER Peony

Bred for balance and introduced in 2014, ‘Majesty’s Scepter’ was developed to bring refinement to the pink mid-season segment. The tone is understated: a soft pink that doesn’t overpower the row but reads clearly in mixed planting. Growers value it for its flowering rhythm and harvest predictability. Whether bunched fresh or pre-cooled for export, its shape and structure hold — making it a working hybrid with visual elegance. The name fits: upright, subtle, and carried with control.

HYBRID

As a hybrid, ‘Majesty’s Scepter’ flowers cleanly, without the distraction of side buds. The semi-double bloom opens evenly and maintains its shape in the field and cold chain. Its moderate volume prevents tip sag during cool, damp periods, and it shows good resistance to breakage during harvest. For growers managing week-by-week blocks or export windows, this hybrid is a dependable performer with enough presence to elevate a programme — but never complicate it.
