    This pink and white herbaceous peony (Lemoine, 1922) should not be confused with the yellow tree peony 'Alice Harding' (Lemoine, 1935).

    Recently found out that this plant is not typically commercially available because it's a known carrier of Lemoine's disease. Alice Harding seems to be symptom free but root sap transferred to other peonies can be fatal to them. Please research this disease and make sure you're taking all precautions to prevent the spread of disease to any other peonies before putting it in your garden!
