Hybridized in the Netherlands by Blonk and introduced in 1950, this magnificent perennial is named in honor of the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who discovered penicillin. A premium cross between 'Sarah Bernhardt' and 'Bunker Hill', it delivers spectacular, 5-to-6-inch fully double blossoms in a rich, deeply saturated candy-pink. As the densely layered, ruffled flowers mature, their outer guard petals gradually soften into a striking, silver-platinum sheen. Rising on robust, burgundy-tinged stems that reach up to 34 inches in height, it stands out for producing multiple side buds per stalk, resulting in a dramatically extended midseason flowering window. Emitting an exceptionally potent, sweet floral perfume with bright notes of candied citrus peel, Dr. Alexander Fleming is a highly productive, winter-resilient treasure that anchors any sun-drenched spring landscape with timeless beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Fleming Peony Information \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif;
