Notes
'C.W. Schock' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'C.W. Schock') 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. It bears red blooms that suit a bouquet or a sunny bed. You can set it among spring bulbs and ferns, where its red color stands out against green leaves and softer flower shades.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Royal fern.
