| Posted by goldfinch4 (Ripon, Wisconsin) on Oct 11, 2011 2:37 AM This plant is very tall in my zone 4 garden at 48" plus. The semi-double flowers are a gorgeous coral color when they open, but fade quickly to a pale coral. Still very pretty however. This is one peony that does not smell good at all. It actually has a very unpleasant smell when used as a cut flower, especially as it fades. [ Reply to this comment | |
