Notes
'Glowing Heart' peony (Paeonia 'Glowing Heart') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Semi-double purplish-red flowers face upward and reach about 6 inches across. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant stands upright at 26 inches, so it needs no support.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, White Swan coneflower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Queen of Night tulip.
