Notes

'Rose Ruffles' peony (Paeonia 'Rose Ruffles') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 bears fragrant, red, semi-double blooms that attract butterflies and bees. David Reath bred it in 1990. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Pyrethrum, Annabelle hydrangea, and Blue grama.
