Notes
'Constant Devred' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Constant Devred') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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. Its full double, rosy magenta blooms open in late spring and have a pleasant fragrance. Jacques Calot bred it in 1868. The large, smooth leaves give you good foliage all season.
