Peony Red Charm

Peony ‘Red Charm’ is a bold and dramatic variety renowned for its lush, double blooms in a rich, velvety crimson-red. The large, bomb-shaped flowers are densely packed with ruffled petals, creating an opulent display in late spring to early summer. Long-lasting and striking, this award-winning peony is a favourite for adding depth and sophistication to borders, cutting gardens, or any sunny garden spot.

With its sturdy stems and robust growth, ‘Red Charm’ ensures its heavy, show-stopping flowers remain upright, making it a reliable choice even in challenging weather. Its deep green, glossy foliage provides an elegant contrast to the fiery blooms, extending the plant's ornamental appeal throughout the growing season. Fully hardy and low-maintenance, this herbaceous peony thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and enjoys full sun or partial shade.

We supply the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, ensuring strong growth and prolific flowering. For the best results, plant in spring with the crown 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during the growing season. ‘Red Charm’ will reward your care with years of breathtaking beauty and unrivalled garden performance.

Newly planted peonies seldom make a first-class show in their first season, instead reaching the top of their form in their second or third year.
