Also known as Eden's Perfume, Sorbet is a pink and white confection with a tall crown of fluffy petaloids and a spectacular presence. This plant was discovered in a South Korean orchard in the 1980s by a Dutch horticulturalist, and was brought back for commercial production. In addition to being unusual and exceptionally pretty, this peony is also very fragrant. Ideal for cutting.
