Notes
'Angelo Cobb Freeborn' peony (Paeonia 'Angelo Cobb Freeborn') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 coral-red double blooms sit on tall stems with clean foliage, and they last a long time. Mrs. Mary E.G. Freeborn bred it. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
