Notes
'Cerise Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cerise Beauty') 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 blooms are large and cerise, with darker color in the center. Each flower opens flat and cylindrical in late spring, and the plant blooms freely. Risk bred it, and it has good foliage and stems of medium height.
Pairs well with Columbine, Cheerfulness daffodil, Sedge, and Butterfly milkweed.
