Notes
'Atrosanguinea' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Atrosanguinea') 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. The double flowers open in a deep magenta color and make a bold show in the garden. Cut the blooms for bouquets and enjoy them indoors. Jacques Calot bred it.
Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Grape hyacinth, and Sedge.
