Notes

'Edward F. Flynn' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edward F. Flynn') 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. The double flowers are a dark, rich red. Cut the blooms for bouquets to bring that deep color indoors.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Carlton daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
