Notes
'Nevada' peony (Paeonia 'Nevada') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. It bears single, fragrant, dark ruby-red blooms that attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Nodding onion, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Polish Spirit clematis.
