Paeonia 'First Arrival'

An intersectional or Itoh peony and an upright and compact herbaceous perennial with attractive, dissected dark green foliage, green in summer, tinged bronzy-red in spring and autumn. Erect stems holding showy, spicily scented, semi-double, saucer-shaped pink flowers fading to cerise pink towards the centre appear in late spring and early summer, with a particularly long flowering period.
