Notes:

Brothers Herbs & Peonies says that of all the new selections from China, this is perhaps the most intriguing they have observed. Starting at the base with a deep dark purple flair, and radiating out in shades of pale lavender to peach fading to a lovely pale pink and cream. It's descended from P. rockii.
