    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Kansas was one of the first peonies with the intensity of color that lead growers to describe this as "red". It's not (and don't let tweaked photos elsewhere convince you otherwise.) Kansas is, however, a gorgeous plant. Fully double, brilliant watermelon pink, non-fading blooms display the form that comes to mind when the word "peony" is mentioned. These are large plants -36" tall and about the same in width - find a space for Kansas and you'll enjoy incredible cut flowers forever.
