Although there are many cultivated varieties of peony, we deal mainly with the pure species. These have single flowers, mainly red or pink, perhaps with white varieties, but there are also fabulous ones with pale yellow flowers. They are all herbaceous, and it is a delight to see the dark red noses of the new stems pushing through the ground in late winter, two or three where there was one the previous year, and soon a great clump of them.
Paeonia mascula subsp. arietina produces lovely bright rose-red flowers. These appear above the unusual coarsely-cut foliage which is narrow and hairy underneath. This subspecies originates from Eastern Europe and Turkey, so planted in full sun it will be a vigorous grower and reliable bloomer.
