Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Paeonia lactiflora 'Paula Fay' is a gorgeous early season peony with semi-double, hot pink to pink petals around yellow stamens. Good fragrance and strong stems up to 36 inches high.
Paula Fay lights up the garden with numerous shocking pink blooms, with petals of silk and full center puffs of gold stamen. Even with her luminous flowers extended to heights of 34-36", this peony's strong stems don't need to staking. Paula Fay blooms early in the peony season, kicking it off with a bang.
