| Description | One of the earliest hybrid peonies to bloom! Crimson, single flowers sit atop sturdy stems and deeply dissected leaves. The rich green, fern-like foliage is inherited from its parent, Paeonia tenuifolia, and remains attractive through summer and fall. An American Peony Society gold medal winner. An herbaceous perennial. This herbaceous peony needs winter chill to set buds. It will not flower in zones 9 - 11. |

They are not recommended for USDA hardiness zones 9 - 11. |
