753 Shawnee Chief Peony

The Shawnee Chief peony is a standout perennial celebrated for its deep, mahogany-red double blooms and exceptionally strong stems. Since its introduction in 1940, it has become a favorite for both home gardeners and commercial growers because it maintains its upright shape even under the weight of its large, rose-shaped flowers. Beyond its striking late-spring color, the plant provides value throughout the season with dense, dark green foliage that stays lush until the first frost. This variety is particularly prized for its longevity and hardiness, often thriving for decades with minimal maintenance once established in well-drained soil and full sun.
