Description
A tall, herbaceous perennial with a sprawling habit. Dark green leaves have deep, broad divisions. Large, upright, shallow-cupped flowers in a dazzling magenta colour with a dark, almost black, eye at their centre and dark veining on the petals. Prolific blooming mid-spring through into summer.
Newly emerging shoots are a distinct red colour, like rhubarb, in spring. Leaves have good autumn colour. Plant height is dependent on soil conditions. May need support either through staking…a peony ring works well…or from adjoining plantings. Very easy care; relatively pest- and disease-free. Drought tolerant. Deer and rabbit resistant.
