Paeonia Lake of Silver Olea powder-blue leaves and deeply-impressed veinsPaeonia 'Lake of Silver' has proven to be one of the best double flowered peonies in our heat tolerance trials, producing 34" tall, sturdy stalks of large, double, carmine pink pom poms that appear tipped in silver. For us, Paeonia 'Lake of Silver' starts flowering in late April. These are large, multi eyed, flowering sized plants that are, most importantly, deer resistant.
