The Fire peony is a thinly-leaved herbaceous variety with a simple flower form, distinguished by its very bright red coloration, which does not fade in the sun and persists until the petals fall. The flower diameter reaches 15 cm, the petals have an uneven edge, and the stamens and anthers are colored yellow, while the pistils are green with pink stigmas. This peony blooms very early, allowing you to enjoy its beauty at the beginning of the season. The bushes are semi-spreading, about 90 cm high, with strong and thick stems, with one flower on each. The leaves are medium-green and dense, which gives the plant decorative appeal even outside the blooming period.
This variety was bred by breeder Fomicheva in 1963 and is distinguished by good resistance to diseases, pests, and adverse weather conditions. Due to these qualities, the Fire peony is suitable for cultivation in various regions, including West Siberia, East Siberia, and the Far East. It is recommended for both greening and cutting, making it a universal plant for gardeners and florists.
The Fire peony has a pleasant and light aroma, which complements its decorative qualities. The peduncles are strong and straight, which ensures the stability of the flowers and convenience when cutting. Abundant blooming and good growth make this variety an attractive choice for creating bright floral compositions and decorating garden plots. The planting material of the variety is obtained from experienced breeders and curators of botanical collections, which guarantees its quality and conformity to the stated characteristics.
