Notes
'Red Warrior' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Red Warrior') 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. The single flowers are a deep red and make a bold show in the garden. You can cut the blooms for bouquets. Archie M.
