'François Ortegat' Peony produces large, fragrant flowers in late mid-season. This variety features mahogany-red buds that are dark and intense before opening into striking deep burgundy-wine blossoms, eventually revealing rich magenta tones. With stems reaching 36 inches, it is ideal for cutting while still in bud. However, in full bloom, 'François Ortegat' benefits from support to maintain its elegant presence in the garden.
