Notes
'Agrippa' peony (Paeonia 'Agrippa') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The bright red, semi-double flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The upright stems reach about 32 inches and need no support.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
