Notes

'Princess Pat' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Princess Pat') 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 bears double red flowers. The blooms last well in a vase, so you can cut a few for indoors.

Pairs well with Columbine, Delphinium, and Prairie dropseed.
