Short? At my place it reached upto 100cm. Great plant, seedlings were disappointing. Single flowers with common and ugly colours.

Not very tall here, but these are second year plants, so they may still increase in height. The colour is rather common, but for some reason it attracts a huge number of bees (which I like), whilst other blooming peonies around it are neglected by them.
Strong Coral (from Old Faithful x Coral Charm).. These are second year plants, they’ll increase a lot over time. Fades beautifully I think. You can see the Paeonia peregrina background still in the lobes on the leaflets.

liked thisI’ve always considered Old Faithful one of the most beautiful fading peonies. You wouldn’t expect it when those dark red buds first open…

liked thisTangerine (Gamoletti, 2021). Received from @roberto Roberto Gamoletti. A nice one. Extremely large buds unfold into large apricot coloured flowers. The stems can hold them upright.
