Notes
'Red Splendor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Red Splendor') 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 a Japanese type with red blooms and a yellow-edged center. The stems are medium tall and strong, so the blooms hold up well.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Stargazer lily, and Garlic chives.
