Notes
'Scarlet Heights' peony (Paeonia 'Scarlet Heights') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 single scarlet flowers with yellow centers, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Prairie dropseed, and Curly Fries hosta.
