Peony 'Command Performance'

Description

Paeonia herbaceous hybrid "Command Performance". A champion without a doubt. Command Performance lives up to its name. The flowers are massive and the vibrant colour attracts attention as soon as they open. The cardinal red flowers gradually fade to ivory, revealing some of the peregrine heritage of this triple hybrid.

The bomb type flowers are softly scented and given their size it is obvious that one flower per stem is more than enough to fill a vase! Although the stems are strong, some support may be required depending on the garden and the gardener
