    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Paeonia lactiflora 'Do Tell' is an anemone type peony with delicate pale pink cups of single petals forming a ruffled bowl that holds a centre of dark rose and reddish ruffled petal-like petalodes. Absolutely gorgeous. A mid to late season bloomer to 30-36 inches high.

    We love this peony for it's originality, ability to perform in such a wide range of climates and, of course, for it's sensational looks. Do Tell is a Japanese form peony, with a row of cupped pink petals framing wavy stamen in gold and hot pink. The flowers mature to almost white so the plant offers several colors at once. If the peony word had a punkish rock star, Do Tell would certainly be a contender.
