Peony · 4–6"Pink
Classic Rosamunde produces masses of semi-double rose-pink flowers with bright yellow centers above some of the darkest, most dramatic bronze-black foliage in the dahlia world. Plants bloom prolifically from midsummer through frost, making them reliable performers in borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Pollinators flock to the open, sunny centers, and the contrast between warm pink blooms and deep bronze leaves is a consistent crowd-pleaser.
