Notes
'Alfred G. Richmond' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Alfred G. Richmond') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. 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. It bears large, single red flowers in mid to late spring. Gilbert S. Richmond bred it, and the blooms last well in a vase.
