Peony Early Scout Early Scout is, as its name indicates, a peony that flowers before most of the rest. What isn't immediately apparent is that this cultivar is ideally sized for small gardens and even large containers, is lightly fragrant and produces lacy, cut leaf foliage that provides a clue to its lineage as a hybrid of Paeonia tenuifolia, the fern-leafed peony. Early Scout so impressed the judges of the American Peony Society that they bestowed their Gold Metal Award on Early Scout in 2001. A very early bloomer that prefers cool climates. Deer resistant. Highlights & Hints - Award winning peony by the American Peony Society. - This wonderfully fragrant peony never needs staking. - These are some of the best cut flowers anywhere.
