Notes
'Co-Pilot' peony (Paeonia 'Co-Pilot') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Bright red Japanese-form flowers have yellow centers edged in gold and open early on tall, airy stems. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
