Besides its blooms, I think peonies have the loveliest spring foliage! Every early spring, I look forward to see purple, red, green pips popping out of the ground. The hybrids and the species have the nicest foliage IMHO. Some tree peony foliage is really beautiful too.
THis is Nova. I think its pips with the enlarged furry buds are so adorable!
Blonde Vision has such pretty light green foliage
Pink Fernleaf comes up light green and stays light green up until bloom time.
