I was impressed not only by the blooms themselves but also by how well they work in arrangements and the above-average vase life! The photos are my own. Solaris Farms says "‘Vanilla Schnapps’ is an outstanding hybrid peony. This peony cultivar is known for its semi-double to double creamy-yellow flowers. Petals often have multiple notched edges, much like a pinking shears would create. The central petal configuration on flowers produced on mature plants are unique for their fluted/folded expression along their full length. The plants have wide deep green foliage and are vigorous growers. Many of the cream to yellow colored herbaceous hybrid cultivars lack the excellent plant habits of ‘Vanilla Schnapps’, making it a stand out in the group. Plants generally take 3 or 4 years before showing the full double flowered expression, but the single and semi-double form flowers are excellent nonetheless. . . dark green foliage is a wonderful foil for the lightly colored flowers.
