Paeonia, 'Scarlet O'Hara' hybrid herbaceous peony

Notable characteristics: Bright red flowers on erect stems make an eye catching addition to a sunny spot of the garden. As the flowers age, they gently change to a soft pink color, for a surprising finish. Wonderful glossy green foliage looks good all season. This is an excellent landscape plant that requires no staking.
