Plump, heavily petaled peonies measure 6-8 in. across with dark red petals. Dark, glossy foliage springs up in a hurry; forms a good-looking backdrop for the spectacular blossoms. Shrublike mounds are 2-3 ft. high and ornamental even after the flowers fade— around midsummer. Creates a low-growing, low-maintenance hedge that never needs pruning! Plant in full sun
