Peony ‘Elsa Sass’ – The Snow-White Grand Finale

Are you looking for the ultimate white peony to crown your season? The ‘Elsa Sass’ is a legendary variety known for its unparalleled purity and its status as an APS Gold Medal winner. A peony that only comes into bloom when other varieties have already finished, making her the absolute queen of early summer.

The ‘Elsa Sass’ produces large, beautifully full flowers in a shade of white so pure it almost seems to glow. The blooms have a classic, cup-shaped structure with large petals that occasionally show a very subtle, sporadic red marking—a characteristic detail of this variety. The enormous, flattened round buds are a promise of the opulence to come. Combined with a delightful perfume, this is a peony that belongs in every garden.

Grower’s Tip: The ‘Elsa Sass’ takes her time to reveal her beauty. For the vase, it is crucial not to cut her too early; the bud must show clear color and feel soft to the touch. In the garden, she is a reliable grower that, thanks to her late flowering, is often the most beautiful surprise of the year.
