Peonies: Paeonia suffruticosa 'Rimpoh'

description for "Peonies: Paeonia suffruticosa 'Rimpoh'"

'Rimpoh' (Feathers of a Heavenly Bird) has large, double, deep red flowers. The contrast of the deep-crimson-red of these numerous large feathery petals against the golden center is breath-taking. Tree peonies are spectacular flowering shrubs which produce enormous blooms unmatched for exotic beauty in any other flower. Growing to 4-5 feet tall, these exceptional tree peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime. Zones 3-9. Tree peonies differ from garden peonies in that they have woody stems like a shrub. The branches do not die back to the ground in winter as do the herbaceous varieties. Exotic, uniquely colored, and often fragrant blooms are produced in late spring, about two or three weeks before the garden varieties. --edited by dtd siegelgirl
