Hybrid Peonies are valued for their colourful and often fragrant blooms, similar to Garden Peonies. Plants form an upright bush of dark green leaves that stays attractive all season. This semi-double selection opens light cherry and matures to pale salmon pink. Midseason. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall, to help prevent disease problems. Excellent for cutting. Bred by Professor A.P. Saunders a chemistry Professor at Hamilton College, Clinton, New York during the early part of the 20th century. He is considered the "Father" of the modern hybrid peony.
