<i>Paeonia lactiflora</i> 'Peter Brand' | Peter Brand Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia lactiflora 'Peter Brand' is a herbaceous peony cultivar known for its luxurious, deep red blooms. As the large double blooms mature, their color can deepen, creating a striking, bold effect in the garden. The flowers are not only visually impressive but also emit a light, pleasant fragrance, adding sensory appeal to the plant.
The lush, glossy green foliage forms a dense, bushy mound that serves as an attractive backdrop to the dramatic flowers. 'Peter Brand' is often used as a focal point in garden beds, borders, or mixed with other perennials to create a dramatic display of color and form during its blooming season in late spring to early summer. It also makes an excellent cut flower for floral arrangements.
