Notes
'Grover Cleveland' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Grover Cleveland') 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 large, double flowers are bright crimson and mildly fragrant. They open late, and the stiff stems and good foliage keep the plant tidy. H.A. Terry bred it.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
