Dr. Alexander Fleming Peony

Pink, double blooms are held high on strong, dark green stems above the attractive, compact foliage in early summer. It produces a lot of side blooms which adds to its bloom season. A “must have” addition to any peony collection. Peonies are the perfect plant to add to an English or Cottage style garden in mass for a dramatic effect or as a specimen. Once established Peonies can live for 50 years or more!
