Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Solange’ doesn’t enter the season—it closes it, like a curtain drawn in gold-tinged silence. Its tall, double blooms carry a soft pink hue that drifts almost into ivory as the light shifts. Layered petals form dense, rounded heads that hold shape without ever feeling heavy. Side buds stretch the flowering season, offering a long and steady finale to any crop. Introduced in 1907 and still upright more than a century later, ‘Solange’ isn’t just a variety. It’s an anchor.

Origin Solange Peony

Over a hundred years ago, ‘Solange’ was bred for structure, rhythm, and return. And it has kept its promise. Season after season, its stems rise tall, and its blooms arrive exactly when they should—late, elegant, never rushed. It doesn’t follow fashion, and it doesn’t demand attention. It simply arrives, does what it’s meant to do, and leaves you wondering why others try harder. In the world of peonies, that’s rare.

LACTIFLORA

As a textbook lactiflora, ‘Solange’ offers growers a familiar framework—predictable flowering, firm stems, and side buds that gently stagger the bloom. But what sets it apart is grace: the way it holds itself, the calm tone of its petals, the quiet strength in its late-season timing. It isn’t just useful. It’s composed.
