Notes
'Glorious Carol' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Glorious Carol') 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. Magenta single flowers open in mid to late spring and early summer.
