This peony was bought on a whim in a going out of business sale. I was sent two roots. Both came up the following spring, and the larger one bloomed. This plant isn’t as vigorous as some of my other peonies, but it’s healthy and strong and I think the blooms are pretty. The foliage stayed healthy all summer, even though we had a very dry month followed by a very wet several weeks. I’m very happy with this peony!
