Notes
'Angelic Lacquer' peony (Paeonia 'Angelic Lacquer') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Fragrant, raspberry red, semi-double flowers face upward on upright plants that need no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Swenson Gardens bred it, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Moonshine yarrow, Nodding onion, and Western sword fern.
