Anderson (1986)
First Arrival is a special lavender purple, half-filled Itoh hybrid with a slightly darker heart. This beautiful color isn’t often seen at the peony group, for the reason that it is only possible with Intersectional Peonies. Plants which are older give more and also fuller flowers every year. First Arrival has softly scented flowers up to 20 cm and a dark crop. Even more highly recommended for gardens and parks. First Arrival gives a sea of flowers in the midseason. Most noteworthy, the limited availability currently still determines the price.
