Peony ‘Sorbet’ – A Delicious Spectacle of Color
Are you looking for a peony that really stands out from the rest? The 'Sorbet' is a unique variety that lives up to its name. This variety, introduced in 1987, is known for its unusual layering, with different colors and textures coming together to create a flower that is almost reminiscent of traditional Italian ice cream.
What makes 'Sorbet' so recognizable is its double, three-color structure. The flower consists of layers of soft pink petals, interspersed with a ring of vanilla-white to cream-colored petals in the center. This playful contrast between pink and white really "pops" above the deep, dark green foliage. What's more, it's a peony that not only pleases the eye, but also the nose: it exudes a delicious, sweet fragrance that only adds to its popularity.
Why choose Sorbet?
Unique Layering: The alternation of pink and vanilla-white layers gives the flower a depth and character that you rarely see in other peonies.
Delightfully fragrant: A real treat for the senses; the fragrance is exactly what you would expect from a classic lactiflora.
Stunning Contrast: The light, multicolored flowers stand out sharply and vividly against the healthy, dark foliage.
Reliable Grower: A strong plant with good presentation, both in the garden and in a vase.
