‘Claire de Lune’ is a graceful early-season peony admired for its unique color, refined form, and lightly fragrant blooms. This hybrid variety features single to semi-double creamy yellow petals that surround a vibrant golden center of stamens. The flowers have a delicate, airy quality and often display subtle hints of blush or ivory, creating a soft, moonlit effect—true to its name, which means "light of the moon."

The plant reaches about 24 to 30 inches tall and forms a neat, bushy clump of finely cut, dark green foliage that stays attractive throughout the growing season. Blooms appear in early spring—typically before most herbaceous peonies—making it a valuable addition to extend the peony season. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is suitable for borders, cutting gardens, or naturalistic plantings.
