Yes, Trond, it would be worth growing for the foliage alone!

Here it is this morning in full flower - I'm not the only one to enjoy it!

I can understand that bee, the flowers are to be enjoyed at close encounter! They're not second to the leaves.

Gorgeous!  That is amazing foliage.  If I have room for one more peony, it should be that one!

Good news, Lori,

Marcus Harvey has it on his latest seed-list:http://hillviewrareplants.com.au/

(if he's sold out let me know in case we get any seed set here!)

cheers
