Paeonia 'Southern Lights'

type: suffruticosa / or lutea hybrid tree peony (no detailed parentage given, but many yellow tones among the plants registered together with this plant strongly and the origin of the seeds suggest the origin from a cross with forms of P. delavayi sensu lato)

in APS Bulletin No. 318 June 2001: TREE PEONY REGISTRATIONS From Jane and Trevor Sutherland, Southern Charm Paeonies, Timaru, New Zealand (Parentage in many cases is unknown, but all seed came from Bill Seidl, USA. Seeds were planted over a period of 15 years. All are prolific bloomers on very strong plants that hold the bloom above the foliage.)
