DESCRIPTION
Paeonia x ‘Pink Double Dandy’ is a beautiful hybrid peony known for its lush, semi-double to double flowers and bold color contrast. The petals are a soft blend of light pink and rose, with the center of the flower displaying a darker magenta-red hue, creating a rich, dramatic focal point.
