2014 Peony obovata willmottiae Red & Blue Seed Pods

Wow! I said it once about this peony when it bloomed, First Bloom on Peony P. obovata var. willmottiae, and I'll say it again! If you want a peony that's going to brighten up your shade garden in spring and in fall, then Peony P. obovata var. willmottiae is definitely the peony for you! The white blooms with a burgundy and gold center really brighten up the shade garden in the spring, but the eye-popping fuchsia, red, and blue seed pods are like watching a brightly colored fireworks display in early fall! So if you were thinking you needed another reason to grow this shade loving beauty, then you've definitely got one!

    1. Hello, I originally purchased this Peony obovata willmottiae as a plant from Plant Delights Nursery (https://www.plantdelights.com/). It doesn't look like they have it offered on their web site at the moment, but they change their offerings every year. They have a really nice catalog. So you may want to ask to be added. Be careful, though, you will find so many plants you just "have to have"! Good luck!!
