Peony Henry Bockstoce (Herbaceous)

The herbaceous interspecific peony hybrid Henry Boxtus was obtained by breeders in the USA in 1955. It is no less popular today than it was in its early years on the market.

Appearance
The peony is distinguished by the deep red colour of its buds with a slight mauve streaking of the individual petals. The inflorescence holds its shape for a very long time without falling apart. At its centre all petals are tightly pressed together, forming a bud cone, while the outer ones are only slightly bent back, forming a tight fan. The pleasant, faint scent and the fact that the colour of the buds does not change over time or fade in the sun will be an added bonus when planting.

A real ornament for the garden, a worthy colour accent in a sunny location. The powerful shrub looks good as a solitaire, decorated not only with buds but also with lush green openwork leaves. Over the years, as it grows, it may need additional support.
