Claire de Lune
Peony ‘Claire de Lune’ – Ethereal Moonlight in Your Spring Garden (1954)
Bring a touch of celestial beauty to your landscape with 'Claire de Lune.' Introduced in 1954 by Wild & Son, this award-winning hybrid is celebrated for its rare, luminous glow and an elegance that truly lives up to its name, "Moonlight."
'Claire de Lune' is a connoisseur’s favorite. Its large, single, cup-shaped blooms feature silky, slightly crinkled petals in a soft creamy-yellow hue. These delicate petals serve as a perfect backdrop for a striking center of golden-yellow stamens. A fast grower with a delightful sweet fragrance, it also offers a spring surprise: the emerging foliage starts with a beautiful rosy tint. Despite their graceful appearance, the stems are remarkably strong and wiry, making this peony a sophisticated choice for both garden borders and high-end floral arrangements.
