Comments: Usually described as scarlet coloured, the flowers however to my eye are more deep burgundy. The colour does not fade and the petals maintain their cupped shape until just before falling. I find this peony very similar to Belle Center and like Belle Center, Crusader looks stunning when collocated with yellow flowering plants
