Notes

'Ring Of Fire' peony (Paeonia 'Ring Of Fire') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant red flowers have a yellow center and attract butterflies and bees. The upright bush stays about 24 inches tall and needs no support.

Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Patriot hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Sedge.
