'Murad of Hershey Bar' peony (Paeonia 'Murad of Hershey Bar') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its fragrant maroon blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. William H. Gratwick III bred it from Choni and Dark of the Moon.
