Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright pink single flowers on 30" stems stand up without flopping over even in rain and wind. Clean foliage that has rarely been affected by mildew or botrytis for me develops beautiful fall color. An easy grower like most peonies. Appears to be synonymous with 'Dancing Butterflies' and 'Fen Yu Nu'.
