Notes
'Signal Beauty' peony (Paeonia 'Signal Beauty') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Its ruffled, dark red flowers open from early to late spring and attract butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Derek Irvine bred it.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Blue fescue, and Jackmanii clematis.
