Notes
'Tillienoone' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Tillienoone') 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 single flowers are a deep bright red, which makes them easy to spot from across the garden. Cut a few blooms to bring the color indoors. Benjamin W. Guppy bred it.
Pairs well with Immortality iris, Matrona october daphne, and Sedge.
