Notes
'Henry St. Clair' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Henry St. Clair') 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 double flowers are a brilliant red and look like round bombs. Fine stems make it a promising choice for cutting.
Pairs well with Delphinium, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
