Notes
'Constance Moore' peony (Paeonia 'Constance Moore') 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, dark red flowers glisten like polished mahogany, and side buds extend the bloom season. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Walter Z. Mains bred it.
Pairs well with Creeping phlox, Stargazer lily, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
