Paeonia lact. 'Karl Rosenfield'

Paeonia "karl rosenfield" is a very popular, crimson peony, which blooms profusely in June and July, with mildly scented, double, carmine, spherical flowers, on sturdy stems. The lobed, pointed leaves are also attractive and first appear bronze-red in the spring, only to evolve into a medium green later in the course of the season. "karl rosenfield" prefers a position in full sun or partial shade and thrives in any deep, well-drained, humus-rich soil. This cultivar, over 100 years old, is hardy and tolerant of sea wind and air pollution.
