Paeonia lactiflora ‘Red Magic’


Double Peony

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.407.690


Garden Peonies are old favorites for late spring display, prized for their large, colourful and fragrant blooms. Plants form an upright bush of dark green leaves, remaining attractive all season. This double-flowered selection has very full flowers of rich cranberry red. Midseason. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall, to help prevent disease problems. Excellent for cutting.
