Notes
'Sweet And Low' peony (Paeonia 'Sweet And Low') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. 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 forms a neat, dense bush with fragrant, generous single red blooms that attract butterflies and bees. William Henry Krekler bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
