Peony · 3–4"Orange
Classic Elise produces soft peach, open-centered blooms with two rows of petals surrounding a copper-toned inner ring, set against striking dark bronze foliage that makes the flowers pop. Plants bloom prolifically from midsummer through frost and are praised for excellent stem quality and lasting power once cut. The compact habit suits borders and containers, and the dark leaves add drama even between flushes.
