Or maybe add a ‘Buckeye Belle’ Peony
This cultivar ‘Buckeye Belle’ is in the plant family Paeoniaceae that has only one genus Paeonia with approximately 30 herbaceous species and 8 woody species! And the common spelling when referring to this large, flowered family can be peony or paeony, they are both correct! ‘Buckeye Belle’ is considered to be a very early bloomer in the world of peonies.
It is categorized as a semi-double flower that is upward facing and is 4-6 inches across. It is described as having moderately large flowers composed of four, or so, layers of large, dark mahogany red, cupped and rounded outer petals and narrower and more deeply cut central petaloids, interspersed among thick, yellow anthers. Centers can appear turbulent, varying from bloom to bloom and developing with age. If for no other reason than just it’s stunning color, huge bloom size and GREAT NAME, enjoy the ‘Buckeye Belle’ and now you have another way to… GET OUT, get SCARLET and GET YOUR BUCKEYE… ON!!
