Paeonia lactiflora
An enchanting, robust and very romantic variety. Shirley is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher in your nostalgic garden. You can integrate the lush perennial wonderfully into the flowerbed, but it is also stunningly beautiful as a solitary plant. It smells and its large flowers turn from a delicate pink to white when they bloom.
You will also have a lot of joy with this unique peony in the vase.
