Notes
'Louis Joliet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Louis Joliet') 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 dark red double blooms are large and have a few stamens. Stems of medium height carry the flowers well.
