Notes
'William D. Hoard Jr.' peony (Paeonia 'William D. Hoard Jr.') 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 red flowers sit one to a stem, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Nodding onion, and Sedge.
