This semi-double flowered variety has softly coloured petals that are raspberry red at the tips, and gradually fade to soft pink with an inner glow of yellow right in the middle.
Peonies will grow in most soils as long as they are not wet, including clay soils. They require a sunny or partially shaded site. Herbaceous peonies need to be planted with the eye (the dormant pink buds) no more than 2.5cm below the surface of the soil. Do not mix manure in the soil before planting as this may rot the eyes.
