Themis (2 year graft)

Themis.  Daphnis.  Circa 1986.  Lutea hybrid.  Flowers are single with two rows of petals and are a bright blue-pink, deeper pink at center – excellent and unusual color.   Nicely notched and crimped petals.  Slow growing and height is only about 28″ in Wisconsin.  Lacks stem hardiness, but is not difficult to grow.  Likely best grown in more moderate zones.  Very rare.  Themis=Greek goddess of law, order and justice.  No fertility noted to date.  Ships late September to mid October.  These are 2 year old grafted plants.  While plants are relatively small, they have youthful vigor and make wonderful additions to the garden.  Plant and grow them as you would older woody peonies.
