AI: Peony 'Red Charm' is a renowned herbaceous hybrid peony known for its large, fully double, bomb-shaped flowers in a rich scarlet-red color. The blooms feature a single row of outer petals surrounding a dense cluster of smaller, heavily ruffled petals that continue to expand as the flower opens. It is an early-blooming variety, typically flowering in mid to late spring, with sturdy, relatively short stems about 36 inches tall, making it excellent for cutting. This variety was introduced by American breeder Lyman Glasscock in 1944 and has received the American Peony Society Gold Medal in 1956. 'Red Charm' is prized for its strong rose-like fragrance, heat tolerance, and striking garden presence, thriving in USDA zones 3-8. While its vase life is about a week and it may shed some petals post-bloom, it remains one of the most popular and classic red peonies for gardens and floral arrangements
