Notes

'Shenandoah' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Shenandoah') 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. Its blooms are red, so they add bold color to a bed. They also work well in a vase as cut flowers.

Pairs well with White snakeroot, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
