Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Pink Parfait’ delivers exactly what its name suggests—a generous layering of soft pink petals that feel almost edible in texture, like a dessert whipped into floral form. These double blooms unfold with rhythm and density, their rounded shape held steady on medium-length stems. Side buds add volume and prolong the flowering window, turning a single flush into a slow, structured wave. Introduced in 1975, this Standard-category lactiflora has stood the test of time—not with spectacle, but with steady, time-earned grace.

Origin Pink Parfait Peony

‘Pink Parfait’ is rooted in a tradition of peony cultivation that prioritises reliability as much as beauty. Lactiflora peonies—long admired in East Asian horticulture—were selected for their strong perennial structure and their capacity for generous blooming. This cultivar carries that tradition forward with quiet authority: not flashy, but dependable, and ideal for those who prefer subtlety over flourish. Its multiple side buds and consistent growth make it especially suited to commercial growers seeking balance between yield and elegance.

LACTIFLORA

As a lactiflora variety, ‘Pink Parfait’ offers what growers need most—predictability, upright stems, and flowers that hold their shape and colour in both the field and vase. It blooms late in the season, filling the gap when early varieties fade. Its shape is tailored for bouquet building, while its strength ensures it holds in structure-heavy arrangements. Whether planted for production or display, this peony delivers clean, symmetrical performance.
