Introduced in 1937, award-winning Peony ‘Sea Shell’ (Paeonia lactiflora) is still a very popular Chinese Peony. It produces large, bright, satiny pink flowers with a luminous center of golden-yellow stamens. Borne on strong, erect stems, the attractive single blooms are slightly fragrant and usually stand on their own without support. A graceful and elegant variety that never stops being admired by peonies lovers.
Peonies are a classic ingredient of the perennial border and have been in cultivation for over 2000 years. Beloved for their abundant blooms, the beauty of their exquisite flowers, their delightful fragrance, and their bold foliage changing shades over the seasons, peony flowers add a dazzling splash of color in the late spring and early summer garden.
