Sorbet Peony

Paeonia lactiflora 'Sorbet'

Sku #7418

Spectacular pink and white double blooms of this hybrid peony are as delectable as an elegant dessert. Dark, glossy foliage springs up to form a good-looking backdrop for the fragrant blossoms in early summer. The handsome foliage turns red in autumn.
