    I wasn't able to find much information about this peony, but I read on a couple of sites that it may have been known as 'Highlight'. If that is true, the hybridizer was Auten/Wild & Son in 1952. It stands up to rain very well with strong stems and two to three side buds per stem. My Armani reached 45 inches tall and 30 inches wide this season in its fourth year.
