Paeonia x suffruticosa ‘Sonoma Apricot’

Paeonia x suffruticosa 'Sonoma Apricot' is a deciduous shrub admired for its large, exquisite apricot-colored flowers and deeply lobed foliage. Its large, semi-double to double flowers, measuring up to 8-10 inches in diameter, are a captivating soft apricot to peach color, often with subtle hints of pink. Richly fragrant, the blooms attract bees and butterflies and create an elegant display in mid to late spring. The large, dark green, deeply lobed leaves provide a lush, textured backdrop and turn yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest.

'Sonoma Apricot' thrives in full sun to partial shade, with some afternoon shade helping to protect the flowers. Ideal as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as part of a peony collection, its moderate size makes it suitable for smaller gardens, and the fragrant blooms are excellent for cutting and floral arrangements.
