Notes
'Chief Logan' peony (Paeonia 'Chief Logan') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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, dark red flowers are semi-double to double, with heavy petals that keep well when cut. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Walter Z. Mains bred it.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Indian grass, and Nodding onion.
