'SHIRLEY TEMPLE' Peony (Paeonia lactiflora x 'shirley temple')

Big and aggressively growing, this peony really fills a space with its deep green foliage and puts on a huge show in late May when it is topped by huge, fragrant, fully-double flowers. The blossoms will start out with various amounts of pink and gradually become white as the petals expand to their full size. Easy to grow and long-lived, you will never have a problem with this selection with the exception of missing its showy bloom when past.

Zones 3-8

Available only in fall as bare roots. 3/5-eye
