As elegant as Astaire and Rogers dancing cheek-to-cheek, this Japanese-style peony provides glamour and color wherever it's used. A vigorous variety, 'Top Hat' yields a slew of medium-size flowers with rows of cardinal-red petals surrounding a large, fluffy center of creamy-white to light-yellow staminodes. More red petals usually grow up in the very center. Blooms measure to 6-inches across on mature plants. Mid-season flowering. No fragrance. LIMITED QUANTITY. (Reynolds, 1971)
Zones 3-8
Bare roots available in LATE-FALL and WINTER. 3/5-eye.
