About Shirley Temple - Peony Bulbs

Paeonia

Seed Type Root

Naming this peony after the famous child actor was no mistake. This wonderful flower becomes a star in all flowerbeds that it grows in! With large blooms and an amazing number of petals that reach 5 to 7 inches, the Shirley Temple Peony stands out from the bunch. At each center, a blushing soft pink hue gives way to a dazzling, creamy white color. Given the name of these flowers, its no surprise that they thrive in full sunlight and rich soil!
