I got it from Hollingsworth's fall 2013 and it was available again fall 2015, will be interesting to see if it's available from them again for next fall. I've not seen it offered anywhere else. They actually sent 2 when I got the first one, 2nd was a bonus plant for the year, but I traded the extra away for daylilies to Nancy on the other forum. Wasn't sure if it would survive our winters and was wondering at the time how it'd fare in a warmer climate than mine, think Nancy is in zone 6. Actually had a bit of conversation back and forth about it last spring and it hasn't done very well there but she hasn't been covering it during adverse weather after it came up in the spring. I'd only order that one if you're willing to spend the time covering and uncovering for late freezes.
There was a post on one of the Facebook peony forums in the spring, think the member was in MA, of a truly amazing Blonde Vision with a large number of blooms--made me want to cover my entire yard with them! In reality I'm just hoping mine starts increasing at a faster rate now that it's been in the ground for 3 full years. This year certainly wasn't a "leap" year, maybe next.....
LG, how is yours doing? I think I remember that you got blooms this year; how long has yours been in place and has it increased better there in your warmer (than me!) zone?
From spring 2015--the fully open blooms don't photograph well for me, haven't been able to show the blend of color well.
