A semi-double, medium flower opens deep luscious pink, almost appearing to be fluorescent pink or even bright light red in the cooler climates. Excellent habit with vigor and good increase makes for an attractive free flowering bush. Strong stems on an upright medium height bush carry the flowers close to the durable dark green leaflets. This very tidy specimen needs no additional support. Noted as showing more resistant to peony diseases than many other hybrids and cold winter hardiness further North. Furnishes fine stems for the vase, cut flower garden. Makes a beautiful addition to any perennial border.
