Paeonia tenuifolia single red form


Single Fernleaf Peony

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.407.090


Fernleaf Peonies are very special and unique specimens, a must for the perennial collector. Plants form a low, bushy clump of very finely divided green leaves, bearing small satiny ruby-red single flowers, the centers filled with yellow stamens. Perfect for edging or in a sunny rock garden. Flowers appear earlier than the more common hybrid Garden Peonies. Plants may go summer dormant in warm regions. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall, to help prevent disease problems.
