Seidle (1996) Carnation Bouquet is an early flowering peony with a special inflorescence. The flowers with a carnation-like appearance emerge in a dark pink color. During the flowering period, however, they change from a pink/white duo color to a very light pink. The massive flowers are on a thin crop with stems that are just a little too weak to keep them upright. Carnation Bouquet is a beautiful peony for cut flowers, but also very suitable for the construction of gardens and parks all over the world.
