Many Happy Returns Peony - Prize Winning Plant - 1.5 gallon pot

'Many Happy Returns' is a prolific American Peony Society gold medal winner with dramatic spheres of double red flowers, their centers bursting with petals. In form, the blossoms marry characteristics of Anemone and Bomb-style Peonies, their rounded outer petals encircling a ball of smaller ones. The dynamic color won't fade in the sunlight. Plants are upright with attractive divided foliage. Also, winner of the APS Award of Landscape Merit. Introduced in 1986. Early midseason.

Peonies produce their extravagant display in early June every year, regardless of weather, because they are among the most durable and longest-lived plants. They have no natural enemies, no exacting cultural requirements beyond full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Finally, Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud.
