Paeonia 'America' / Size: #15 pot
'America' is a herbaceous hybrid peony 28"-32" tall with verdant green foliage and a healthy, columnar habit. Strong stems uphold large, crimson, cup-shaped flowers with clear yellow anthers. Flowers are mildly fragrant, early blooming, and of substance--one of the best presenting reds (said to match the American flag). An excellent cut flower. Bred by Roy Klehm and Nathan Rudolph as cross from 'Burma Ruby' and pollen from unknown parentage. Quick to develop. Winner of both the American Peony Society Gold Medal and Award of Landscape Merit. A venerable grower and exceptional presence in the landscape, 'America' endures as one of the best red peonies today. This peony was propagated from NYBG's own Matelich Anniversary Peony Collection.
