Notes
'Sonoma Guy Saval' peony (Paeonia 'Sonoma Guy Saval') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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. The fragrant, dark red flowers open in early to late spring and hide darker flares deep inside. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Irene Tolomeo bred it.
Pairs well with Catmint, The President clematis, and Blue Arrow Rocky mountain juniper.
