Paeonia 'Watermelon Wine'

An intersectional or Itoh peony, upright and compact herbaceous perennial with attractive, dissected, fine mid-green foliage, green in summer, tinged bronzy-red in spring and autumn. Erect stems hold showy, spicily scented, semi-double, saucer-shaped raspberry-pink flowers, fading to a darker reddish pink towards the centre in late spring and summer, with a particularly long flowering period.
