| Posted by critterologist (Frederick, MD - Zone 6b) on May 18, 2015 11:00 AM I love this peony! The foliage is distinctive, and the bloom is a lovely deep red. It gets bigger and blooms more every year (like any peony, I suppose). I appreciate that it shoots up earlier than other herbaceous peonies, so it's less likely to be stepped on by small feet when the kids are picking daffodils. [ Reply to this comment | |
