    A much sought-after plant growing wild in Caucasus. The foliage emerges purple tinged in spring, followed by soft yellow single flowers. Easily grown in a well drained soil. These are 2 year old seedlings.

    Just call her Molly the Witch. This fabled Peony is a choice species from the Caucasus region with impossible to improve upon single yellow goblets for flowers. The red new growth in spring evokes some avant garde asparagus. Showy blue-black seeds mingle with red infertile ovules.

    The molly witch peony has attractive foliage, especially the new growth which is rhubarb red for several weeks in spring. The large buds open to bright yellow flowers in April. We grow our plants in semi shade but they will also grow in fall sun. (2 gal. one per customer)
