Notes

'Cherry Hill' peony (Paeonia 'Cherry Hill') 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 and average moisture. The double, fragrant flowers are deep garnet red, and they keep well when cut. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. George C. Thurlow bred it.

Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Dittany, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
