What a great spring-time plant. We paid umpteen dollars for this from Barry Yinger a few years back, but haven't regretted it since. Just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
The seed pods open late in summer to reveal hot pink seeds!

Just beautiful! Lost mine, but found some seeds.

Both are very nice! I've got my very first peoni (to ever survive a year that is) ready to bloom soon, but looks like maybe just a couple Can't wait though.

Hi David, well after viewing your pic, I just had to have one and did place an order. Any tips on getting it to grow like yours? I plan on planting it where it would receive morning sun in spring but as the trees leaf out it would be in a pretty shady spot for the rest of the year. Thanks for posting the pic, I love it.
