Paeonia 'Prince of Darkness'


Double. A classic, old fashioned double red-to-maroon Peony. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Red flowers appear between May and early June.
Double-Flowered Peonies are old-fashioned classics that are loved for their hardiness and unbelievable blooms. Double and semi-double are rounded flowers in which all (or most) of the stamens are developed into petals, creating that wonderful exuberant look. They rarely need dividing, but if you want to spread the wealth, they are best divided in the fall (plant eyes two inches below the surface to ensure bloom). Flower time is E (May-early June), M (June) and L (late June) but this varies from year to year.
