Paeonia lactiflora - Shirley Temple
A timeless and charming garden classic, ‘Shirley Temple’ delights with blush-pink buds that unfurl into large, fully double, rose-shaped blooms, gracefully fading to ivory white as they mature. Each bloom is richly fragrant and borne on sturdy, upright stems—making this cultivar a standout in both borders and bouquets. Known for its lush, deeply divided, glossy foliage, it offers season-long presence and is both deer-resistant and low-maintenance. Highly regarded by growers, ‘Shirley Temple’ has earned the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
