Peony Red Charm (Paeonia lactiflora) is a stunning perennial known for its striking, fragrant blooms. This remarkable peony is treasured for its large, lush red flowers that add a bold splash of color and elegance to any garden. With its captivating beauty and delightful scent, Red Charm is a must-have for peony enthusiasts and gardeners alike.

Blooms: Large, fully double blooms emerge in late spring to early summer. The flowers are a vibrant, deep red, creating a dramatic effect as they open fully to reveal their impressive petals. Each bloom has a lovely fragrance, attracting pollinators and enriching the sensory experience in the garden. The blooms are perfect for cut flower arrangements, adding a touch of luxury to any bouquet.

Foliage: The foliage of Peony Red Charm comprises dark green, finely divided leaves that provide an attractive backdrop to the stunning blooms. The dense, bushy foliage adds to the overall appearance of the plant, creating a lush environment that highlights the beauty of the flowers.

Size: Peony Red Charm is a herbaceous perennial that typically reaches heights of 2-3 feet with a similar spread. Its sturdy, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for borders or as a striking focal point in flower beds.

Sun and Soil Requirements: Peony Red Charm thrives in full sun to partial shade, though it performs best with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. This peony prefers well-drained, loamy soils rich in organic matter but can adapt to various soil types as long as they are well-draining.

Watering: Peony Red Charm has average watering needs. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist, and applying mulch around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture. However, ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid root rot. 

Hardiness: This perennial generally thrives in USDA zones 3-8, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. Peony Red Charm is winter hardy and reliably returns each spring, providing a spectacular display that delights gardeners year after year.

Maintenance: After the blooms fade, it is recommended to prune the foliage to ground level in the fall, which promotes healthy growth and flowering for the next season. Fertilizing in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer will support vibrant blooms and lush foliage.

Landscape Uses: Peony Red Charm is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, perennial borders, or as a standalone focal point. Planting multiple specimens together can create a magnificent display in any garden setting. Its bold blooms are also popular choices for wedding bouquets and floral arrangements.

Overall, Peony Red Charm is a cherished perennial that captivates gardeners with its lavish blooms, enchanting fragrance, and straightforward care. This exquisite peony adds a touch of timeless beauty and drama to any landscape, making it a beloved favorite among gardeners everywhere.
