Early Tree Peonies Fire Flame, Floral Rivalry, and First Crow begin blooming when early herbaceous peonies are still flowering. Kamata Brocade produces huge purple blooms. Luoyang Red and Phoenix White, closer to species peonies, suggest delicate roses, but they are hardier. Pink Water Lily blossoms contrast the more delicate ones of Zhao's Pink. Joseph Rock's Peony, rare in cultivation, is as hardy here as in its native Tibet. previous page next page
