Hollingsworth, 2009
This is one beautiful peony! Opens mid-pink and fades through to silver before the petals drop. Various flower forms on the plant becoming predominantly flower-in-flower double as the plant matures. This cultivar is the result of a cross between Salmon Dream and Pink Vanguard - two beautiful peonies in their own right.
This peony is named in honor of Kathleen Roth, mother of Lucas Hudson, operations manager at Hollingsworth Peony Nursery and APS Director.

Kathy's Touch
Our promise is to provide you with healthily grown root divisions, with 3-5 eyes, and true to name. We take great care in packaging your roots so they arrive in perfect planting condition. If for any reason, during shipping, your package is not to your satisfaction, please send a photo within 48 hours, and we will either replace your order or refund you.
Since planting conditions, and other variables are outside of our control, we cannot guarentee roots once they have been planted.
Observations of height, side buds, and staking are the observations from Hudson, Quebec (zone 5a) grown in full sun, in a clay based soil. In different environments plants will perform slightly different. Instead of 1 to 2 side buds per stem, you may have none. If growing in slightly shadier environment, your peony may require staking. The observations are meant as a general guide, in how your peony should perform in optimal planting. In the case of fragrance, these are observations based on personal sniff tests in the field, we must bear in mind our olfactory senses are all different.
