Lorelei Peony
Paeonia 'Lorelei'
Unique and captivating, Lorelei Peony is a show-stopping perennial that stands out with its warm, sunset-inspired tones. This early-blooming variety produces large, fully double blooms in a rich blend of coral, apricot, and peach that gradually softens to a creamy blush as the flowers mature. Each bloom is packed with ruffled petals and sits atop strong, upright stems that rarely need staking.
The dark green, deeply cut foliage forms a sturdy, bushy clump that remains attractive long after the flowers fade, adding structure and texture to borders and perennial beds. 'Lorelei' makes an excellent cut flower and pairs beautifully with both pastel and bold garden companions.
Long-lived and easy to grow, this peony thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding gardeners with reliable blooms and minimal care year after year.
