The Nippon Chief Peony brings timeless elegance to gardens with rich, saturated red petals around striking, bright yellow centers. Both long lived and long loved, this variety has charmed gardeners for nearly 100 years with its captivating color and supportive form. Blooming later than most, Nippon Chief can extend peony season when paired with other varieties.

Strong Stems: Robust, structural stems provide reliable support for the substantial blooms, ensuring the flowers stand tall even after rain.

Nostalgic Plant for Generations: Like all well-tended peonies, Nippon Chief can thrive for decades, becoming a cherished garden heirloom.

Late Bloomer: With a later flowering time, Nippon Chief helps enliven the garden after earlier varieties have finished.
