Riz,

Ivory Victory is a Klehm/Songsparrow registration. You might try to contact them. Their phone number is on their website at songsparrow.com.

It does not appear this one is offered this year but they may be willing to get you one by special order or they may be able to tell you when it will be made available again. Their offerings change at the beginning of the year.

I am not aquainted with this cultivar. Have you seen it? Is there anything in particular that makes it special? I think I just found the photo of it on the songsparrow site. It looks like it is a large bomb with a flower-in-flower configuration. It really does look nice.

Leon, my sincerest thanks for your posting!

Yes, I did look into Song Sparrow for this cultivar as they introduced it many years ago, but was bummed that it wasn't in their offering for this season.

I'm hoping to get this variety because I saw it in an old episode of "The Victory Garden" from many years ago when they did a segment with Roy Klehm who named this peony in honor of the host's visit. I grew up watching "The Victory Garden" so yeah, for sentiment and also it is a lovely flower that is supposedly nicely fragrant.

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can secure a division this fall.

Cheers,

Riz
