Raspberry Sundae Peony

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Raspberry Sundae’

1 gallon pot

A showy and elegant peony, Raspberry Sundae features large, fragrant blooms with soft blush-pink outer petals surrounding a full, creamy center often accented with touches of deeper pink. The layered, double flowers create a lush, dessert-like appearance that stands out beautifully in late spring gardens. The blooms are held above a strong mound of deep green foliage, making it excellent for both garden display and cutting.

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, producing increasingly abundant blooms each year. Staking may be helpful to support the large, heavy flowers.
