Sanctus
Saunders, 1952
Herbaceous Hybrid
Flowers open blush and rapidly fade to creamy white. The centre is suffused with a red glow. A floriferous plant with an architectural appearance that appears early in the season. While I have not done so yet, I have a vision for a monochromatic garden, and Sanctus will be at the forefront of my design.

A Note on Observations
Observations of height, side buds, and staking are 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.
