Paeonia tenuifolia (fernleaf peony).14 May 2007 http://fernleafpeo.notlong.com 14 May 2007. This red flowering plant Paeonia tenuifolia (fernleaf peony) was given to be by a neighbor three years ago. It only flowers in early spring and prefers some shade, A small group about three feet square is a most attractive view. The vegetation is very pretty after the flowers have disappeared. It grows well even in heavy clay, and seems to tolerate great abuse, since I have moved this plant several times to different types of soil. Here is some more information about this beautiful plant. http://www.peonies.org/P_tenuifolia.html http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html

I love the look of this plant. The double flowered one is even more stunning. Check out Digger's pics. Could someone from outside Canada not ship just the bulb in the Fall? since there would be no fear of pests being transported? I sooo want one, but they are outrageously expensive.
