Paeonia Angel Cheeks Peony

If you're looking for a timeless bloom with a romantic flair, Paeonia Angel Cheeks brings just the right touch. Each flower is a fully double masterpiece—soft blush-pink petals surround a creamy pink center, all edged delicately with raspberry tones. This peony stands out not just for its refined palette, but also for its lush, dark green foliage and sturdy 36-inch-tall stems that hold blooms beautifully upright without support. A late spring to early summer bloomer, it's graced with a light, sweet fragrance that feels like spring itself. It's no surprise that Angel Cheeks earned the APS Gold Medal in 2005 and the Award of Landscape Merit in 2010.

Often called simply 'peony,' this cultivar brings structure and charm to borders, cutting gardens, and specimen plantings. Its elegant, old-fashioned beauty pairs naturally with companions like Iris, Baptisia, and Nepeta. Whether you're designing a cottage-style garden or adding softness to formal beds, Angel Cheeks blends seamlessly with both pastels and deeper-hued plants.

Peonies like full sun to part shade and appreciate rich, well-drained loam. Angel Cheeks is hardy in Zones 3-8 and remarkably long-lived once it's settled in, you can count on it to return each year with minimal upkeep. With strong disease resistance and reliable performance, it's a variety that rewards patience with years of abundant, unforgettable blooms.
