DESCRIPTION

The blooms are large and rounded, offering a classic, elegant appearance in mid to late spring. These full, rich blossoms form a dense cluster, bringing bold color to the garden. The plant has a barrel-shaped growth habit, with sturdy stems and lush leaves that extend close to the ground.

Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate periods of drought. The flower’s intense color and lush, fragrant blooms make it a popular choice for cutting gardens. Additionally, its resistance to common peony pests and diseases ensures it remains a reliable and beautiful option for borders, flower beds, or as a focal point in the landscape.
