    "Paeonia 'Red Magic', (3-DB-RD) lactiflora cultivar Peony, (China), USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Medium Height, large bomb double, cranberry red guard & center petals, good cut, needs support, midseason bloomer, Michigan Bloom Month 5c.

    An heirloom. AKA Hei Hai Bo Tao (China). Little has been published on the origin of this plant and the photo on perennials.com is almost certainly incorrect."
