Fernleaf Peony
If you are not swooning from the picture, check your pulse. It may have knocked you out. When this peony is blooming everything must be put on hold for a good sit down to enjoy this beauty. A must-have not only for the peony enthusiast, but for all people who enjoy grasping those moments of exquisite beauty. Yes, the flowers are lovely, satiny crimson, 3″ cup-shaped flowers with a cluster of yellow stamens in the center but the green, fernlike foliage will also stop you in your tracks and beg for a pet.
Impressive anywhere–rock gardens, edgings, or as an accent.
