Paeonia Angel Cheeks Manettia Light shade to part sunPaeonia 'Angel Cheeks' has been a top performer in our heat and humidity trials, which is why it was awarded the American Peony Society Gold Medal Award in 2005. This 1970 Carl Klehm introduction is a Paeonia lactiflora hybrid that produces sturdy 28" tall stalks, each topped with several large, mildly fragrant, pink bomb style flowers. For us, in early May (late mid season), each clump produces in excess of three dozen flowers truly spectacular!
