‘America’ is an herbaceous peony hybrid with large, single red flowers of intense color with a golden yellow center. It’s a real eye-catcher, especially against the dark green complimentary color of the hedge. Having good clean foliage, it remains upright. Besides being a vigorous grower, P. ‘America’ reliably blooms for Memorial Day, another reason for the name besides the flower size and color.
