Variety Origin: Highlight is a classic bright pink peony variety bred by American breeder Samuel Wissing in 1976, suitable for garden viewing, border arrangement, and cut flower production.
Core Characteristics: Petals number 28-32 layers, arranged compactly and neatly, with a thick, glossy texture and full three-dimensionality. Flower buds are round and full, with a smooth epidermis and good transport tolerance.
Cultivation Performance: Prefers sun (5-6h direct sunlight daily), tolerates light partial shade. Strong cold hardiness. Prefers loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.2). Avoid heavy, compacted soil.
Highlight peony takes “bright pink double flowers, early-flowering characteristic, and strong adaptability” as its core advantages, becoming a benchmark peony variety.
