http://pelvaean.notlong.com Identification Please. This red flowering plant was given to be by a neighbor two years ago. It only flowers in early sping and prefers shade, A small group about three feet square is a most attractive view. The vegetation is very pretty after the flowers have disappeared. It grows well even in heavy clay, and seems to tolerate great abuse, since I have moved this plant several times to different types of soil. My neighbor called it a Japanese Peony, but I am not so sure. Durgan.
Yes, it is a peony, Paeonia tenuifolia (fernleaf peony). See the last few sentences on this advice from Clemson Univ. Extension. And some extra info from UW-Madison Botanical Garden: Paeonia tenuifolia
Thank you. Right on. Here is some more history of this beautiful plant. http://www.peonies.org/P_tenuifolia.html Durgan.
