Notes
'Red Rock Canyon' peony (Paeonia 'Red Rock Canyon') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Streaked red and green bud covers stay on after the petals drop, so the show lasts longer. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the dark red blooms.
Pairs well with Guacamole hosta, Moonshine yarrow, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
