Notes
'Raspberry Delight' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Raspberry Delight') 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. Late mid-season blooms are rich lilac-purple, 6 to 7 inches wide, and fragrant. Stems may bend in rough weather, so you may need to support them in an exposed spot.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Blue grama, and Grape hyacinth.
