Here's a fiery and flashy peony that will keep things cookin' in your garden after your spring flowers fade and before the arrival of your summer bloomers. From mid to late spring, Blaze delivers bright red, single to semi-double blooms with wavy petals and attention-getting centres packed with striking golden stamens. Plant this sturdy, shrubby perennial in back of a garden bed where it will get at least some sunlight, and its ornamental, deep green foliage will provide a wonderful backdrop for other flowers from spring until frost, year after year. You'll want to bring some of its showy, fragrant blooms indoors for your fresh-cut arrangements. Keep in mind that peonies take about three years to establish before they begin flowering. But once Blaze ignites in the landscape, you can count on it to burn brightly for decades!
