Introduce the peak of garden glamour with Paeonia suffruticosa 'Lu He Hong', a spectacular Chinese tree peony celebrated for its prolific and vibrant floral display. In late spring and early summer, this vigorous deciduous shrub produces a profusion of massive, double blooms up to 20cm in diameter. The 'sugar-pink' to deep crimson petals are densely layered and ruffled, surrounding a contrasting crown of golden stamens and emitting a delicate, sweet fragrance. Unlike herbaceous peonies, 'Lu He Hong' develops a permanent, self-supporting woody framework that reaches a mature height of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres. Exceptionally hardy and long-lived, this 'legacy plant' thrives in sheltered spots with fertile, well-drained soil, offering decades of low-maintenance architectural beauty and high-impact colour.
