Paeonia peregrina is an upright perennial plant with gorgeous, ruby-red bowls with pinky filaments and richly golden anthers.
These spectacular flowers are held aloft over deeply cleft, glossy-green leaves.
This collectors plant is surely one of the most sumptuous of all of the central European Paeonia species and deserves greater general cultivation in domestic gardens.
They are a perfect complement to any mixed border, though best planted in groups or drifts.
They suit most informal garden settings whilst also making good cut flowers.
Flowerheads are relatively large.
