Notes
'Bloodgood' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bloodgood') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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. George Hollis bred it. Cut stems for bouquets and give the clumps room to grow in the bed.
Pairs well with Obedient plant, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
