Paeonia 'Raspberry Charm'

Raspberry Charm Peony

Paeonia 'Raspberry Charm' is a semi-double herbaceous peony that blooms in early to mid-season. It showcases a rich raspberry-red to deep-coral hue with ruffled petals surrounding a central cluster of golden-yellow stamens. The blossoms are lightly fragrant and carried on sturdy upright stems that support each flower without additional support. Pollinators, including bees and butterflies, are drawn to the open floral structure, making it a lively and fragrant feature in the garden or as a cut flower.

Design tip

Use it as a steady framework plant, repeating it along a bed to tie separate plantings together. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
