Notes
'Julius Ceasar’s Glory' peony (Paeonia 'Julius Ceasar’s Glory') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The early double flowers are velvety red and slightly citrusy, and bees and butterflies visit them.
