Hi Warrier,

Good eye. It is a peony. It's Burma Joy, a great peony for shade. It has faded to pink. It started quite red. I love early single peonies for this purpose. You get a pop of color in the shade, and reliable bloom. This one has very pretty leaves and is relatively small. And no staking!

I got the seed at JL Hudson many years ago. It is runnerless. I only had to plant it once, since the birds and rabbits, well, spread it around. It appears as tiny, very distinctive plants, which I would then move around my yard. The berries are delicious. It doesn't require either good soil or fertilizer, but if you do fertilize it, the berries are bigger and bear more. And yes, I do love feeding the birds.

Easily divided too. Fragaria vesca reugen.
