The flower forms a symmetrical cup as it opens; the distinct shape holds well in seasonally cool and moderate temperatures. Excellent plant habit, vigorous and good grower, a dependable bloomer with ample color on a compact, short to semi-dwarf bush. Attractive foliage, narrow leaflets notched at ends reflect its Paeonia tenuifolia and Paeonia peregrina ancestry. This attractive early flowering variety provides a cheerful splash of color in the near border or the living garden.
