Fernleaf Peony, Fennel-Leaved Peony, Slender-Leaved Peony, Paeonia carthalinica, Paeonia hybrida
One of the earliest peonies to flower in the spring, Paeonia tenuifolia (Fernleaf Peony) is a shrubby, herbaceous perennial adorned with finely-divided, feathery foliage and eye-catching single flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm). The blossoms, one per stem, are dark crimson-red and adorned with contrasting golden-yellow stamens in their center. They show off nicely against the attractive, needle-like foliage. This native to southeastern Europe, Turkey and Caucasus is attractive when planted in groups or as a specimen.
