Paeonia lactiflora - Joker
A playful and dramatic addition to the garden, ‘Joker’ unfolds as a real showstopper with its striking color transformation—from deep pink at opening to radiant white edged with delicate pink picotée tips. These full, double blooms, measuring up to 6–8″ across, rest atop strong 32-inch stems, making them an exceptional choice both for garden drama and elegant, long-lasting vase displays. Mid-to-late spring offers the height of its beauty, and with glossy grey-green foliage providing a lush backdrop, Joker brings charm, versatility, and cut-flower flair to any perennial border. Notably, it earned the prestigious American Peony Society Gold Medal in 2021.
- 1 growing root per pack, 2-3 eyes
