Notes
'Grandiflora rubra' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Grandiflora rubra') 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. The flowers are red, so they add strong color to a sunny bed. You can cut the blooms to bring indoors.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Spotted dead nettle, Picture tulip, and Christmas fern.
