Notes
'Waterloo' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Waterloo') 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. Its double flowers are crimson, so they add rich color to a bouquet or a sunny border. Kelway bred this cultivar. Plant it where you can enjoy the double blooms up close.
