This herbaceous (soft stemmed) peony cultivar is a shrubby plant that, each year, will typically grow to 3' tall by mid-spring, bloom, display attractive foliage throughout the summer and early fall, and then die to the ground after frost. Features pink, single flowers with fertile, showy, yellow center stamens. Glossy green foliage is divided into oval to lance-shaped leaflets. (Auten, 1925).

Easily grown in rich, fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Add compost as needed before planting. Each plant will flower for approximately 7-10 days. Plant other cultivars with staggered bloom times to extend the total peony bloom period to approximately 6 weeks during May and June (in the St. Louis area). Remove spent flowers after blooming. Cut foliage to the ground (and remove from the garden) in fall after frost. Plants are long-lived, do not need to be divided and can be left undisturbed for years.
