Paeonia lactiflora 'Mischief' | Mischief Peony

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Mischief’ bears elegant single blossoms in pink with bright yellow, pollen-rich stamens at their heart. It blooms in late spring to early summer, offering delicate flowers atop upright, gray-green stems that seldom require staking. The petals are subtly fragrant, each bloom opening with airy simplicity and later forming seed pods that add visual interest post-bloom.

‘Mischief’ is a classic heirloom in herbaceous peony collections. It forms a refined, clump-forming habit and is praised for its reliability and graceful production. Known to be deer-resistant, it performs well both as an ornamental garden specimen and as a cut flower, with blooms held aloft on strong stems that remain fresh and upright when arranged.
