The leaves will, eventually, turn green, 6d. I like it better as it is now, too.. it is in a large, blue-glazed pot at my front door, in front of a honeysuckle and climbing rose. :-)

That will look wonderful when they too flower altogether.

This is about 3 and a half ft tall, Jacque. As it is in a container (and I also cut it back a bit each year), it has been this height for as long asI can remember.
The leaves do become green for the summer, but then the green becomes mottled with purple in Autumn. It has been 4 years since this bloomed, as, of course, peonies, don't like "moving house". :-D)

Alas, 6d, no chance of all 3 blooming at the same time. :-(
