Notes
'Sir William Harcourt' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sir William Harcourt') 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. The blooms are crimson, so they add rich color to a bouquet or a garden edge. Peter Barr bred it.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
