Paeonia off. 'Rosea Plena' (pink)

This herbaceous perennial boasts a mounding habit and produces large, fragrant, double pink blooms that are a showstopper in any garden. Recommended for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. The flowers appear in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The medium green foliage turns a soft yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest. Typically, this plant grows to a height of 2-3 feet with a similar spread and is not known for producing ornamental fruit. It is moderately deer-resistant, making it an enduring choice for gardens prone to deer browsing. Its lush, bushy form lends itself perfectly to mixed beds, borders, or cutting gardens.
