Buckeye Belle

A special semi-double peony with exceptionally colored flowers. Very deep and dark red. Large guard petals and a large center of mixed narrower inner petals, yellow anthers and red filaments. The dark green leaflets on reddish stems provide the finishing touch. The very special color, low bush height, compact plant habit and the early flowering time make 'Buckeye Belle' a very special and sought after variety. Awarded with the APS Gold Medal in 2010, and thus officially the Peony of the Year 2011.
