Notes
'Tydeus' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Tydeus') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 single and rose-pink. Peter Barr bred it, so it has a long garden history.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Purple Coneflower coneflower, and Switchgrass.
