Fernleaf Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Raspberry Sundae') is a stunning and unique perennial flower with big and vibrant ruffled double petals. This herbaceous perennial features large, deeply lobed deep-green foliage, sometimes with a delicate bronze tinge.

Plant it in containers or mixed flower beds for a long-lasting show of color and texture.
