Peony 'Miss America'

Description

Paeonia lactiflora 'Miss America' is a must-have for any garden. Its mother-of-pearl buds open to stunning white, cup-shaped flowers. The large, semi-double flowers have numerous petals and form a perfect bowl, contrasting beautifully with the glossy dark green foliage.

The slightly fragrant flowers are borne on long, slender stems. Depending on the style of the garden or gardener, some support might be required. This strong performer is loved by bees and other pollen-loving garden friends.
