Specie herbaceous peony from southern Greece. It is on the endangered list with less than 2500 plants known in the wild, all in small scattered populations. It is at risk from over-collection and habitat loss.

Brian - I bought it from a reputable nursery overseas as a dormant root.

Not much chance of me finding it then ,would have had to find another sunny spot for it anyway and that's not easy
thanks anyway.
Afterthought are you going to pollinate it doubt it will self
