- Soft pink petals with creamy white centers that fade to an almost pure white
- Lush, dark green divided foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season

Planting and Growing Information
For optimal results, plant Lady Alexandra Duff bare roots in early fall, positioning the eyes (buds) just 1-2 inches below the soil surface in rich, well-drained soil. These adaptable peonies thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, blooming in early to mid-season (late spring to early summer). Once established, they require minimal maintenance—simply remove spent flowers and cut back foliage in fall after it dies down. These long-lived perennials will reward your clients with decades of reliable blooms.
