Description
Common name: Fern Leaf Peony
Paeonia ‘Smouthii’ is a Very Early Red Peony Hybrid. Blooms are single, bright red/scarlet. It comes into bloom a few days earlier than the finely cut-foliaged Tenuifolia, but is distinctly different from the Chinese varieties, Smouthii’s cut-leaf foliage is very attractive even after blooming, [Tenuifolia x Lactiflora], (France, 1845).
Pictures of the roots are examples of the size/grade root you will receive. Our Itoh and Herbaceous peony roots are imported from the Netherlands. They are 3+ eyes. Do not be fooled by other vendors who sell smaller roots for cheaper prices.
