Paeonia lactiflora ‘Angel Cheeks’ is an enchanting herbaceous peony variety renowned for its soft, pastel-coloured blooms and delightful fragrance. This exquisite cultivar produces large, fully double flowers that are a delicate blend of blush pink with a hint of creamy white, giving them a charming, ethereal appearance. Each bloom measures about 15-20cm in diameter and creates a stunning impact whether in the garden or as a long-lasting addition to floral arrangements. Blooming around May to June, the colourful display lasts several weeks above lush clumps of dark green foliage. Known for its longevity and easy-going nature, Paeonia lactiflora ‘Angel Cheeks’ often thrives in the same spot for many years, preferring to be grown in full sun to partial shade, in well-drained, fertile soil. It is relatively low maintenance, with a high resistance to pests and diseases. Mature plants will reach a height of around 90cm and spread of around 75cm, making them ideal for borders and containers. Hardy (H6) herbaceous perennial.
