Notes
'Cherry Charm' peony (Paeonia 'Cherry Charm') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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. The fragrant, cupped blooms are cherry red and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Strong stems hold the flowers up on plants about 31 inches tall.
Pairs well with Pyrethrum, Nodding onion, and Rainforest Sunrise hosta.
