Paeonia, 'Blonde Vision' hybrid herbaceous peony

Notable characteristics: Light yellow double with soft red highlights. Medium green foliage. This cultivar was introduced by the great American peony grower and hybridizer Don Hollingsworth. He notes: "A gorgeous flower when it is right. However, the developing buds are vulnerable to late freeze injury, suffering frost damage most seasons in American Central Midwest climate. Recommended for landscape use only in regions that do not experience harsh cold fronts during spring warm up." At our nursery in Connecticut, we have not seen any frost damage on this plant in our half dozen years of growing it.
