This peony cultivar is Scarlett O'Hara. I purchased her, a bit too early last year, before our frost free date and planted her in the butterfly garden where she did not thrive. At the end of the growing season, I moved this plant and my other peonies up to the new front garden where there is more sun. Over the years, the Chinese Elm in the butterfly garden has grown larger and leafier transforming that little corner of the yard, along the creek bank, from a mostly sunny garden into a garden with zones of sun and shade. Eventually all the plants that need lots of sunshine will have to be relocated. Here are a couple more photos from the front garden, taken this afternoon before the storm clouds began to roll in:
