Inspecteur Lavergne Peony

This classic peony produces spectacular double ruby-red blooms on erect stems above a clump of deep green foliage. The flowers are excellent for cutting and make a stunning display in late spring to early summer. A reliable, long-lived perennial for perennial or shrub borders, and an excellent background for spring bulbs.
