Peony Cherry Hill

Choose this heirloom variety for its classic good looks and impeccable nature. First introduced in 1915, Cherry Hill Peony boasts mid-size, luxe blooms of a rich, deep crimson red hue. The flowers are fragrant and fully double, once established. Quite a vigorous grower, it bears plentiful blooms very early in the season, from early to mid spring, as opposed to others of its kind that are a little late to flower. And excellent choice for anchoring a seasonal border or as a feature planting.
