Yes, it is blooming now. It gets more lavender as the weather heats up. I do like it but unfortunately, the blooms don't last long - 3 days top.

Thanks for the "real-life" details (like the blooms lasting 3 days) - it's very useful for us trying to whittle down our wish lists.

Beautiful blooms! How long do the Raspberry Charm blooms last and do they have any fragrance?

I think most peonies flowers last on average 3-5 days. If you get a bout of cool weather, they may last longer but conditions got to be ideal. What they make up for their short bloom span is the amount of buds they produce. The buds open at different time so you get an extended bloom from an established bush. Even though May Lilac lasts only 3 days, I have about 7 buds that open at different times so I still have blooms on it right now. I am sorry to say but Raspberry Charm smells terrible. Its flower is beautiful though.

May Lilac is a beautiful color

Both are quite pretty. Thanks for the looks and the comments.
