Sorbet Peony (Paeonia ‘Sorbet’)

The Sorbet Peony is a striking perennial beloved for its unique, tri-colored blooms. Each flower features delicate layers of soft pink, creamy white, and buttery yellow, creating a gorgeous layered effect that resembles a delicious sorbet. Blooming in late spring to early summer, Sorbet Peony adds elegance and vibrant color to the garden when many other plants are just starting to flourish. Its sturdy, upright stems make it ideal for cutting, allowing you to enjoy its beauty indoors as well.
