'Plum Greetings' peony (Paeonia 'Plum Greetings') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Plum red single blooms open in early season over narrow pointed green foliage. The low, broad plants reach 24 inches and need no support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
