Paeonia 'Sorbet'

Design with this plant

Overview

The Paeonia 'Sorbet' features a delightful mix of pink and cream petals, resembling scoops of ice cream. This perennial grows 2-3 feet tall and spreads up to 2-3 feet. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Sorbet' peonies bloom in late spring. They prefer well-drained soil and, once established, demonstrate moderate drought tolerance. Their lush foliage provides a backdrop for the fragrant, showy blossoms that attract pollinators. Hardy in zones 3-8.
