Notes

'Pottsi' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pottsi') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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. It is compact and medium in height. The semi-rose blooms open in early to mid spring and have a dark crimson color. They are fragrant, so you can cut a few for a vase.

Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Queen of Night tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
