'Bold One' peony (Paeonia 'Bold One') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 grows about 31 inches tall, bears bright single red flowers, and draws bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. William Henry Krekler bred it.
