Pink with raspberry picotee

Paeonia Garden Candy® Noa Jolie

6-8" wide flowers with baby pink petals with raspberry red edges.

Noa Jolie is named after Don Smith's sweet and sassy granddaughter. The flowers on this Garden Candy® selection are gigantic. Each flower can be up to 8" wide and in the most lovely color combination with medium pink petals and a raspberry-red picoteed edge. We have never seen antyhing likke Noa Jolia. The plant is perfect, the flowers are stunning, and as with all Garden Candy® selections, deer and mildew-resistant. You also get three seasons of interest with lovely deep olive foliage (foliage that is free from mildew) all summer and then maroon fall foliage.

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
