Paeonia Garden Candy® Lacey Ryan™

Clear pink with red flares

Lacey Ryan is named after one of breeder Don Smith's sweet granddaughters.  With her clear pink, semi-double petals and dainty red flares, she is girlie to the max. Sofy, pink, and full of style and beauty, 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 bubble gum pink and age to the prettiest pink you've ever seen. This three-foot perennial “shrub” makes for a perfect addition to any foundation planting or mixed garden bed.
