Paeonia suffruticosa ‘Kaoukamon’

Paeonbia suffruticosa 'Kaoukamon' has smaller, dark red to maroon flowers with yellow stamens.

Paeonia suffruticosa or tree peonies are beloved garden plants in both Western and Chinese horticultural traditions though the history of cultivation in China dates back thousands of years deeply embedding this plant in their rich traditions and cultures. Tree peonies are woody shrubs that produce large, gorgeous flowers in spring in a much wider range of colours than the herbaceous garden peonies. ‘Kaoukamon’ has smaller, dark maroon flowers with yellow stamens. Note: Flowers will be deep red but not as dark as this photo.
