Illuminate your garden with the refined beauty of the Souvenir de Maxime Cornu Tree Peony, a distinguished variety celebrated for its glowing golden-yellow blooms infused with warm orange undertones. Renowned for its rich color and graceful form, this exceptional peony brings a sense of warmth, sophistication, and classic charm to any landscape.
In late season, it produces magnificent 7–8 inch globular flowers composed of densely layered, rounded petals that gently nod downward, creating a soft, cascading effect reminiscent of a gilded pavilion. Each bloom releases a light, pleasing fragrance, adding a subtle sensory richness to its visual appeal.
Set against glossy, deep green foliage, the radiant blossoms stand out brilliantly, forming a dramatic yet elegant focal point. With a tall, stately growth habit reaching 4–5 feet or more, this tree peony adds height, structure, and enduring beauty to borders and feature plantings.
Bred in Heze in 1996, this hardy and long-lived cultivar offers both heritage and resilience. While it may experience occasional top dieback after transplant or severe winters, it rebounds vigorously from the rootstock, rewarding gardeners with stronger growth and increasingly impressive blooms over time.
Also known as Golden Pavilion and Kinkaku, this remarkable tree peony is prized for its rare coloration, graceful form, and dependable performance—making it a truly unforgettable addition to any garden.
