Notes

'Evelyn Claar' peony (Paeonia 'Evelyn Claar') 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. Large cerise flowers have two rows of creped guard petals and a bomb center. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it.

Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Limelight hydrangea, and Indian grass.
