Hybrid of Paeonia lactiflora ‘Richard Carvel’ and an unnamed tenuifolia. It’s been a reliable grower and bloomer in Michigan. Flowers are small. APS Gold Metal 2001. Planted in 2004. First of my peonies to bloom. Named after Paeon, physician of the gods in Greek mythology. Supposedly used this plant to treat their wounds after the battle of Troy.
