Notes
'Garnet Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Garnet Beauty') 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. Dark red flowers have two rows of broad petals around golden yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems hold the blooms above the leaves in rain and wind, and the flowers keep their color and form in sun and rain.
Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
