Notes
'Richard Greenham' peony (Paeonia 'Richard Greenham') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Large, full yellow flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. The heavy blooms sit on 35 inch stems, so give them support. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
