I don't know what colour mine is - it was a gift.

I've had my tree peony for about 10 years, it first flowered in its 4th year with a couple of blooms and each year since it has had more flowers. This year it has 14 buds. When it was small I covered it with a fleece wigwam during the winter but I haven't done this for the last few years and it doesn't seem to have suffered. I notice that this year for the first time it has some new shoots coming on the the old wood lower down.

I thought that was a good sign! It certainly is Geranium, once mine got past the 'stick' stage it progressed quite quickly
