Some peonies produce perfectly formed flowers, uniform and with nary a petal out of place. Not Karl Rosenfield. This peony tends towards a bed head look with loose petals in a bright pink with red tones, notched petals and gold stamen showing here and there. Karl Rosenfield has added this tousled look to American landscapes for 100+ years and we're still loving it.

Brilliant deep-crimson double FRAGRANT blooms 4" across. As with all Peony, after the spectacular flowers, the foliage performs right through to the autumn, when it turns fall colours. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
