Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Paeonia 'Red Charm' is a stunning, bomb-type, double peony with large true red, fragrant flowers on strong stems up to 36 inches tall. Early mid season. A hybrid of P. lactiflora and P. officinalis.
Red Charm is far and away the most popular double red peony and deservedly so. This beauty is an American Peony Society Gold Medal winner and an exceptional cut flower. If you've received a bouquet of deep red peonies, odds are good they were Red Charm. Flowers from this "bomb" form peony display a glossy single row of large cupped petals that frame a dense puff (bomb) of shorter center petals.
