Nicholls (1938) Florence Nicholls is a beautiful peony with large, double, white flowers with a light pink glow. Florence Nicholls comes into bud with some pink and then slowly changes into a beautiful white, full flower. The strongly scented flowers bloom in the mid-early segment. The dark crop is sturdy and does not need to be supported. A workhorse like Florence Nicholls should not be missing from any cut flower peony grower.
