Bowl of Beauty Peony

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Bowl of Beauty’

1 gallon pot

A beloved and distinctive peony, Bowl of Beauty features large, open blooms with vibrant rose-pink outer petals surrounding a full, fluffy center of creamy white to pale yellow petaloids. This unique anemone-style flower form creates a striking contrast and adds texture and interest to late spring gardens. The blooms are lightly fragrant and held above a sturdy mound of deep green foliage.

This long-lived perennial performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and benefits from consistent moisture during the growing season. It prefers a permanent location where it can establish over time, rewarding gardeners with increasingly abundant blooms each year. Minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional support for heavy flowers.
