Notes
'Red Grace' peony (Paeonia 'Red Grace') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The double deep red flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. The petals are so tightly packed that each bloom is almost a complete globe.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sweet pepperbush.
