Peony Lemon Chiffon, an exquisite herbaceous hybrid introduced in 1981 by American breeder David Reath, is a radiant gem celebrated for its rare and delicate color. Its large, semi-double to double flowers, spanning 6–8 inches across, unfurl in a soft, pale lemon-yellow hue, evoking the airy lightness of chiffon fabric or a sunlit citrus grove. The loosely ruffled petals, arranged in a bowl-shaped form, surround a vibrant center of golden-yellow stamens, creating a luminous, glowing effect that brightens any garden. Each bloom releases a light, sweet fragrance with subtle citrusy notes, perfuming the air and attracting pollinators for a lively display. With multiple blooms per stem, Lemon Chiffon delivers a radiant early-season show lasting 2–3 weeks, making it a favorite for gardeners seeking refined elegance in borders, bouquets, or modern landscapes.
This variety is as practical as it is enchanting, combining delicate aesthetics with robust performance. Its strong, upright stems, reaching 80–90 cm, support the substantial blooms through rain or wind without staking, ensuring a pristine presentation in USDA zones 3–8. Thriving in full sun to light shade with fertile, well-drained soil, Lemon Chiffon establishes readily with moderate watering and becomes drought-tolerant and pest-resistant once mature, promising decades of reliable beauty. The glossy, dark green foliage forms a bushy mound up to 80–90 cm wide, remaining attractive through summer and transitioning to subtle bronze tones in autumn for year-round appeal. Ideal for mixed borders, as a long-lasting cut flower with a 7–10 day vase life, or as a vibrant accent in contemporary or cottage gardens, Peony Lemon Chiffon infuses spaces with radiant warmth and timeless sophistication.

Guide and tips for planting peony plants and bulbs
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the diameter of the peony bulb or root and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably.
- Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.
- Place the peony bulb or root in the hole with the "eyes" (small buds) facing up and the crown (thickened stem base) no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface.
- Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the bulb or root.
- Water the soil until it is evenly moist.
- Cover the area with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Water the plant regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely.
- As the plant grows, provide support to the stem to prevent it from bending or breaking.
- After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with full sun or partial shade.
