Notes
'Harbour Lights' peony (Paeonia 'Harbour Lights') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Rose red blooms with dark flares open in early to late spring. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Derek Irvine bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue flag, and Niobe clematis.
