Red Charm Peony

The Red Charm Peony is considered by experts to be the very best red peony you can grow. The enormous blooms are full and rounded, with a high center of fluted petals held within an outer circle of flat ones. The color is a stunning vibrant crimson red. The strong stems hold the blooms proudly above the dome of foliage, and this is a very early blooming variety that will extend your peony season by weeks. The foliage stays attractive all summer, and then turns red and gold in fall for a finale. Grow it among shrubs or beside a path. You can cut the blooms for vases – they last at least a week in water.

Full sun is the best location for the Red Charm Peony, but it tolerates a few hours of shade too. It grows best in rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic material added, and used each year or two as fall mulch. The only work is removing the spent flowers and cutting down the stalks in late fall. Pest and disease free, this plant lives for decades and will become a beloved part of your garden.
