Notes
'Johann Szovits' peony (Paeonia 'Johann Szovits') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 deep red, fully double flowers face up and have a faint scent. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The upright plant reaches about 20 inches and needs no support.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Royal Standard hosta, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
