Peony 'Barrington Belle', 'Barrington Belle' Peony, Chinese Peony 'Barrington Belle' , Common Garden Peony 'Barrington Belle', Red Peonies
A very arresting Peony of Japanese to semi-double form, ‘Barrington Belle’ (Paeonia lactiflora) produces large, slightly fragrant flowers exhibiting silky fuchsia to magenta petals surrounding a heart packed with tufts of red staminodes with ruffled bright golden margins. Borne on strong stems, the flowers have one or two rows of broad, incurving outer petals. Free flowering, every single plant can boast up to 50 blooms at any one time!
Peonies are a classic ingredient of the perennial border and have been in cultivation for over 2000 years. Beloved for their abundant blooms, the beauty of their exquisite flowers, their delightful fragrance, and their bold foliage changing shades over the seasons, peony flowers add a dazzling splash of color in the late spring and early summer garden.
