Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; once established, reduce frequency. Prune away foliage in fall. Needs little fertilization; an annual side dressing of organic compost is beneficial. Herbaceous peonies need winter chill to set bud and flower- typically 500 to 1000 hours. They are not recommended for USDA hardiness zones 9 – 11. |
| History | This is a herbaceous, hybrid peony (parentage: Nippon Splendor x Good Cheer) which originated from Hollingsworth Peonies (seedling #1298), which first bloomed in 1979, described as a mid-season hybrid of medium height with upright stature and extra-divided wavy leaflets, abundant flowers of Japanese to bomb type, brick red in color with yellow-edged collar petalodes and pollen at petalode edges. Winner of American Peony Society Gold Medal (2007) and Award of Landscape Merit (2009). |
