Description: A trade name for what is likely another cultivar that has been mixed up in trade, and a poor one at that as the flowers are a vivid fuchsia (true red colours do not exist in the lactiflora group). However, this plant has some rather terffic qualities for a lactiflora - a generously furnished full double form, a pleasing fragrance, a good vase life, and impressive stem strength within this peony group - so really nothing like ol' Sarah B at all! Stems are an interesting wine-red colour and foliage is an attractive dark green.
