Paeonia obovata ssp obovata var willmottiaeWe are very excited to offer this little known form of the prized woodland peony. Paeonia obovata ssp. obovata var. willmottiae hails from 8,000'+ on rocky slopes in the mountains of Hubei and Shaanxi provinces. Most of the material sold is Japanese in origin compared to this Chinese form. The deer resistant variety willmottiae is much more vigorous than typical Paeonia obovata and is topped by single, white, cup shaped flowers about 2 weeks earlier
