What about "Gold Crown" offered at "rich farm garden"? I do not see any Goldens out there.
I love yellow peonies. Haven't grown any yet but I plan to get some this year.

Dear Jim McK;
First there is no peony registered as 'Golden Crown'.
The four original intersectional peonies include one
registered as 'Yellow Crown', but these are said to totally mixed up
in the trade and justifiably so since they are essentially indistinct
from each other.
I checked my 'usual suspect' (Van Bougondien) and they use
the name 'Yellow Crown'
In the past I have seen plants sold as the intersectional
'Yellow Crown' that were actually the herbaceous 'Claire De Lune"
In my own personal suggestion, I'd avoid all these original 4
Interectionals and assuming you want a good yellow peony look for any
of the newer ones such as 'Bartzella', 'Canary Brilliants'.
'Sequestered Sunshine' etc.
Although these newer cvs were originally outrageously high
priced, they are now being offered at MUCH lower prices comparable to
these old ones.
Check out specialty peony growers most of which will not have
their lists available for a while.
Best Jim W.
