Tom Eckhardt Peony

Tom Eckhardt Peony

We love its unique and fragrant blooms so much, we think it's perfect along walkways and in cut-flower bouquets. The generously ruffled, 5" flowers of this Japanese-style peony have rose-red guard petals encircling a centre filled with yellow, orange and rose-red staminodes. Tall, strong stalks provide blooms with reliable support during rainy weather, so no staking required. Paeonia lactiflora
