Raspberry Sundae Peony

The Raspberry Sundae Peony is an outstanding peony variety with full blooms that are pale cream, with the inner petals topped with beautiful raspberry pink. This fully-double variety has an outer circle of cupped petals, holding a dense center with many fluted and ruffled petals. It lasts well in the garden and in vases, and after flowering the leafy bush is attractive too. The leaves turn orange and yellow in fall. Standing almost 3 feet tall, this bold plant makes a great specimen in your shrub beds, and it fits into any kind of garden. Very easy to grow, and long-lived, each year it will get better, producing a profusion of wonderful blooms in May.

• Delicious blooms are ice-cream white, with a pink center
• Strong stems never flop or droop
• Attractive leafy bush when not in bloom
• Very easy to grow, and very cold resistant
• Beautiful as a cut flower in vases as well

Plant the Raspberry Sundae Peony in full sun, or with a little afternoon shade in hot zones. It is very hardy, growing in zone 3, and probably in zone 2 as well, but also in all but the hottest zones. It should be grown in rich, moist, well-drained soil and mulched regularly with organic material. It normally has no pests or diseases and lives for decades. The ants you might see on the flower buds are normal, and help the blooms open cleanly.
