Gargantuan bowl shaped flowers in a creamy white – quick, hand me a spoon! These extravagant blooms can reach a mind-boggling 9 inches across, making this one of the largest white varieties you can grow. Need I say more? It quickly becomes clear that Bowl of Cream offers the best of both worlds as the rose double flower form is also world class, with notched petals producing a very frilly and textural look. As flowers mature they reveal a centre of golden stamens, contributing further visual interest. Experts in the cut flower industry agree that Bowl of Cream is a candidate for the best white cut flower; a vase life of 9 – 10 day is certainly nothing to sneer at in a peony. Strong stems are hard at work to keep these colossal flowers upright, and plants are robust growers with terrific dark green foliage. Bowl of Cream boasts an impressive collection of awards and accolades that acknowledge its many extraordinary qualities, and rightly so. Side buds extend the blooming period on this mid-season bloomer.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Bowl of Cream delivers everything—massive blooms, refined form, strong stems, and outstanding vase life. Few white peonies combine this level of presence and performance so effortlessly, making it a true standout in both garden and vase.
