'Eewee' peony (Paeonia 'Eewee') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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, single flowers are deep red with two rows of petals and yellow anthers.
