Notes

'Glorious Cheer' peony (Paeonia 'Glorious Cheer') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Its raspberry red flowers have a subtle fragrance and face upward. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Plants stand upright at about 28 inches, so they need no support.

Pairs well with Culver’s root, Praying Hands hosta, and Indian grass.
