Another amazing creation by hybridizer Professor A.P. Saunders, this proverbial early bird captures the worm that is our attention by being one of the first peonies to bloom. The arrival of Earlybird is a happy and welcome sight that ushers in peony season. Flowers are dainty and single in an unfading crimson and are produced in abundance on this dwarf plant. This hybrid is the rare result of a cross between P. tenuifolia and P. veitchii woodwardii, and the finely dissected foliage is attractive and lies in form between the two species parents. Welcome peony season and extend your bloom period with this lovely dwarf plant. Bred by Professor A.P. Saunders, highly regarded as one of the most important peony hybridizers.
