heavily and is especially effective in massed border

EDULIS SUPERBA . ------------~------------------ 7.6 15 
This is one of the few peonies which we have that is 
rated under eight, and there is no reason why Edulis 
Superba should carry this low rating as it is really a 
good peony, early free flowering, and a fine cut 
flower in the dark pink class.
