Notes

'Flamboyant' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Flamboyant') 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. It is a tall, strong grower with large Japanese-type blooms in dark rose-red or light crimson. The flowers open in mid season and the foliage is dark green and somewhat crinkled.

Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Eastern columbine, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
