Deep-red buds open to magnificent, peony-like, rosy-red flowers with a delightful fragrance. The blooms create a dazzling contrast against the glossy, dark-green foliage, brightening lightly-shaded settings. Flowers from early to late-winter. Stunning in woodland borders and foundation plantings, or as a hedge.
