Gardenia
Gardenia is always picked with a pink bud, but once in bloom, it develops into a large, champagne white blush that is quite spectacular in a vase. Not content being visually outstanding, the Gardenia has a marvellous fragrance too. There's a good reason why Gardenia is one of the most popular peony varieties on the market.
Pink to Champagne, a Bridal Blush
Full-petalled, opening rose-shaped — light pink on the outer petals, ivory white toward the centre, and that's where the "blush white" name comes from. The stems run red, which sounds like a contrast trick but reads beautifully against the soft flower. The bridal trade has known about Gardenia for decades.
Origin
There's a good reason for that popularity, and the breeder's craft is part of it. Lins registered Gardenia in 1955 — the kind of variety that doesn't shout about its pedigree but quietly turns up in every bridal portfolio season after season. A short origin story, and a long career.
