A midseason to late midseason bloomer, known for its prolific production of 4–5" semi-double flowers. The blooms start as an old-fashioned rose color with raspberry-red flares at the center, fading to a more intense hue as they mature. The flowers are fragrant, with yellow-beige petals and a purplish rose blend at the opening, fading to a soft, persistent undertone. This strong, fast-growing peony forms a compact, medium-low bush with dark green foliage and few side buds. A consistent bloomer, 'Old Man Dandy' is an Award of Garden Merit winner, ideal for adding charm and fragrance to any garden.
