Notes
'Belgium' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Belgium') 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 red flowers in early to mid summer. Kelway bred it, so it has a long garden history. Cut the blooms for a vase when they open.
Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Sedge, and Blue sage.
