Notes
'Ming Hu Qiu Yue' peony (Paeonia 'Ming Hu Qiu Yue') 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. Fragrant, single, vivid purplish-red flowers face upward and attract butterflies and bees. The plant grows low and broad, so it needs no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
