Description

Semi-double, large flower opens bright red; double form on well grown mature plants. Rows of broad, lightly cupped guard petals surround bands of smaller inner petals. Excellent habit, free flowering and grows into a stately medium height bush. Stems are stout and stand well against harsh weather while in flower. Broad leaflets cover the bush to near the ground with the foliage holding up very well into the hot summer season, for a hybrid. It is an excellent peony well suited for the sunny border.
