Red Charm Peony
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Red Charm’
Bold, dramatic, and undeniably show-stopping, Red Charm Peony is a garden classic that delivers rich colour and luxurious texture year after year. This award-winning variety features large, fully double blooms in deep ruby-red, with ruffled petals that create a lush, almost velvet-like appearance. The flowers are held on sturdy stems, making them ideal for both garden display and cutting.
Blooming in late spring to early summer, Red Charm is among the first peonies to flower, providing early-season drama and attracting pollinators with its subtle fragrance. Its upright, bushy habit—growing 30–36 inches tall and wide—makes it a striking focal point in perennial borders, cottage gardens, or formal plantings.
Extremely cold-hardy (Zone 3 and up) and well-suited for Canadian gardens, Red Charm thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s low-maintenance, long-lived, and deer-resistant, making it a reliable favourite for both new and experienced gardeners.
Add bold colour and timeless elegance to your garden with Red Charm Peony—a peony with presence, performance, and unforgettable beauty.
