Legion of Honor (Saunders 1941) Early midseason. Best Landscaper Single, flag-red petals surround a small yellow center. On slender but adequate stems, the flowers appear to float above the lime green leaflets, drawing the eye over great distance. An airy, lighter texture plant habit, uncommon among peonies, integrates easily into a mixed border. Perhaps its best part is the striking color of the expanding shoots in spring, a unique shining yellow chartreuse, burnished with red bronze and slow to take on the mature color. Triploid but has produced viable seeds and progeny. Item 0132. |
