Notes
'Philip G. Corliss' peony (Paeonia 'Philip G. Corliss') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows about three feet high with an erect, imposing habit. The single scarlet red flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees.
