Notes
'Dan Dee' peony (Paeonia 'Dan Dee') 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. It grows about 22 inches tall and bears generous, fragrant, single orange-red blooms that bees and butterflies visit. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Coralbells, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
