DESCRIPTION
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Joker’ unfolds its fully-double blooms in a dynamic display of color that begins with rich pink tones and transitions to creamy white centers edged with delicate pink picotee. It blooms from early to mid-spring and the lightly fragrant petals are arranged in a perfectly rounded form that enhances their appeal both in the garden and in floral arrangements.

‘Joker’ earned the American Peony Society’s Gold Medal in 2021 for its garden performance. The cultivar features strong production, typically presenting one well-formed bloom per stem on a compact, tidy plant habit. Its reliable rebloom pattern and deer-resistant foliage make it a practical yet ornamental addition to landscape beds or cut-flower gardens.
