A compact hybrid with exceptional depth of color, Cherry Red delivers large, fully double rose-type blooms in a rich, true red that holds without fading. Rounded buds open into dense, well-organized flowers carried on stiff, upright stems just 15 inches tall, giving the plant a grounded, substantial presence. The dwarf habit and strong stems make the blooms sit proudly above the foliage without support. Flowering later than most hybrids, Cherry Red extends the season and adds a rare note of intensity when many early hybrids have finished. Seldom offered and rarely seen, this is a distinctive and historic peony with real character.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Cherry Red combines rarity, historic breeding, and unforgettable color in a compact plant. Its late bloom, sturdy habit, and glowing red flowers make it a standout for collectors who value hybrids with both substance and story.
