Notes
'Frank Keith' peony (Paeonia 'Frank Keith') 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, dark red flowers hold their color well and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Frank E. Moots bred it.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Knapweed, Incrediball hydrangea, and Sedge.
