Notes
'Little Imp' peony (Paeonia 'Little Imp') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Rosy red single flowers face up with cupped petals, and bees and butterflies visit them. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Stargazer lily, and Western sword fern.
