Paeonia 'Bowl of Beauty'
Free Next Day Delivery on orders £40+
A show-stopping peony with shell-pink outer petals surrounding a ruffled crown of buttery-cream staminodes.
Strong stems hold the generously sized, lightly perfumed blooms above tidy mid‑green foliage, making it ideal for cutting and for adding drama mid‑border.
Flowers from late spring into early summer in sun or light shade; once established it’s long‑lived and very low maintenance.
