Notes
'Lietuvos Svyturys' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lietuvos Svyturys') 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. Its fragrant, double, purplish-red flowers open in mid to late spring and face upward. The plant reaches about 47 inches, so give the stems some support.
Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
