Emy peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Emy' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Emy') 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 red blooms add bold color to the garden and look fine in a vase. E. J. Berneche bred it. You can cut the stems for bouquets and enjoy the flowers indoors.

Pairs well with Bobo hydrangea, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
