Description

Single form, flower opens in bright shades of salmon pink. The flower head consists of petals arranged in a double layer around a large boss of yellow stamens and a set of 2 to 3 carpels in center. The pale, yellow-green carpels have rose red stigma on top. It exbibits a good plant habit, vigorous and fair increase, producing a semi-dwarf bush. The erect stems carry the flower near the foliage. The leaves are medium green and glossy. The plant is self-supporting, and staking is typically not needed. This attractive peony is well suited for a special upfront spot in your flower border.
