Hollingsworth, 2011
A peony that truly lives up to its name. In 2013, we discovered two enormous, unidentified plants thriving in the field. They were robust and bloomed beautifully. Thanks to their distinctive features (and our purchasing records 😉), we identified them with ease. Over time, those two plants multiplied into 10, then 30, and now everyone can have their own division of a Sunny Day.
Sunny Day is quick to mature, and requires some space. A large plant, with the sunniest pale yellow single flowers, with hues of apricot at the base of its petals reminscent of warm summer evenings.
With delicate crepe like petals, and large feathered center, this dramtic yellow charmer will steal the show every time.

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 guarantee roots once they have been planted.
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.
