A legendary red peony and the gold standard for bomb doubles. Massive, perfectly formed blooms open a true, saturated red, with densely packed petals rising into a powerful, domed center. Exceptionally strong stems hold each flower upright without support. Mid-season bloom. One flower per stem. (Glascock, 1944) — APS Gold Medal 1956.

WHY WE LOVE IT: This is the peony every red is measured against — unmatched color, iconic form, and performance that has stood the test of time.
