Peonies


Peony "Sarah Bernhardt"


Peony "Raspberry Sundae"

The peonies are finishing up, and they were fantastic this year. I have two that did particularly well. One, "Sarah Bernhardt", has huge flowers, aptly named for a Victorian actress. The other is called "Raspberry Sundae", and does look good enough to eat. Peonies live for decades, and have more showiness and punch than an annual. They also are very attractive to little ants--so give a good shake before you bring them in the house!
