Paeonia Garden Candy® Raspberry Dream™

Deep raspberry pink petals

Raspberry Dream reminds us of a quintessential party dress, so sweet and pretty and pink that no one could resist. Wear this dress, start twirling, and you will be the center of the party. She's beauty, depth, and mystery all in one. This Garden Candy® selection is delicate and pretty, yet tough as nails with deer and mildew resistance and consistent flowers each year. The flowers open deep fuchsia pink and age to the deepest, darkest shade. Like a shiny, ruffled raspberry-colored taffeta skirt for the garden. This three-foot perennial “shrub” makes for a perfect addition to any foundation planting or mixed garden bed.
