Characteristics

Paeonia Eliza Lundi presents itself with the kind of confidence that doesn’t require embellishment. This early blooming hybrid peony bears deep red, densely double flowers that rise on sturdy, leaf-lined stems—each stem a single statement, clean and unencumbered by side buds. What sets Eliza Lundi apart isn’t just its colour, but its discipline: a uniformity in bloom that lends itself perfectly to both field structure and commercial cutting. With notably high productivity and a standard growth height, it performs reliably in scale, season after season.

Origin Eliza Lundi Peony

Bred and introduced in 1976, Eliza Lundi belongs to the class of hybrid peonies—a group developed through cross-species cultivation to combine endurance with elegance. Hybrid peonies like this one trace their legacy through decades of selective breeding, balancing botanical rigor with aesthetic clarity. Whether viewed from the lens of horticultural efficiency or ornamental value, Eliza Lundi stands firm in its dual role: as a grower’s workhorse and a collector’s perennial classic.
