Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kissed Peach'
Native to Asia
The species has the common name Japanese tree peony, but examples of it in Nichols Arboretum have not, at least not yet, taken on a tree-like conformation. I neglected to test these for fragrance. Native tree peonies have little or no fragrance, but breeders are developing hybrids of the species specifically to express various fragrances. Designer peonies, you might say.
