Peony 'Lemon Chiffon'

Paeonia 'Lemon Chiffon' is a 1981 herbaceous hybrid introduced by D. L. Reath, with lemon-yellow flowers and strong stems. The [American Peony Society registry](https://americanpeonysociety.org/cultivars/peony-registry/lemon-chiffon/) records a mature height of 32 inches and a midseason bloom; the [RHS plant profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/336407/paeonia-lemon-chiffon/details) describes upright, bushy growth and late-spring flowers. ## Garden use Use this long-lived peony in a flower border or cutting garden. The registry classifies its bloom as a double ball type, while the RHS describes semi-double, saucer-shaped flowers; both profiles note yellow tones. The RHS also lists a spicy fragrance, which differs from some nursery descriptions. ## Growing conditions Choose full sun or partial shade and fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Leave room for the plant to develop without competition. See the [RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/336407/paeonia-lemon-chiffon/details) for cultivar details and the [RHS herbaceous-peony guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/peony/herbaceous) for general siting advice. ## Maintenance Remove spent flowers after blooming and cut foliage back in autumn once it has died down.
