Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr. Alexander Fleming'
A popular variety of Peony with an extended flowering period thanks to the many side buds it produces on its flowering stems. The attractive, divided foliage shoots up in spring, providing an elegant backdrop for the showy, large, rose-pink, double flowers. The fragrant blooms are super as cut flowers. Attractive to garden pollinators.
