Doreen Peony Description
Discerning peony gardeners simply adore Doreen. Not only for the elegantly beautiful, Japanese-type blooms it imparts, but also its robust nature. From mid to late season, you'll be greeted by plenty of distinctive flowers that feature rounded, deep pink guard petals encircling a centre of fluffy, pink staminoides touched with hints of yellow and delicately sprinkled in red. The plant itself is a picture of robust health with a compact habit, vigorous nature and good resistance to Botrytis. Makes an exceptional cut flower, but also looks nice in borders. A light fragrance brings butterflies to the garden. Paeonia
