Paeonia 'Flame' | Flame Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia ‘Flame’ is an early-blooming hybrid peony that produces single, cup-shaped blossoms in a bold coral-red to magenta hue, each with broad guard petals enfolding a glowing cluster of golden-yellow stamens. The blooms open in late spring—often beginning in late April or early May—and persist into early summer. The flowers sit atop sturdy, upright stems that support their large cups without needing external support, and the dark green foliage remains clean and attractive throughout the growing season .
This heirloom variety was selected for its reliable flowering and strong stems. Its single‑form blooms emit a gentle fragrance and are highly valued as cut flowers, offering rich color and form in arrangements. Pollinators such as bees and butterflies are drawn to its open centers, and the abundant stamens provide excellent pollen and nectar sources. Overall, Paeonia ‘Flame’ delivers early‑season brilliance and garden resilience paired with extended cut‑flower usage.
