Notes
'Zulu Warrior' peony (Paeonia 'Zulu Warrior') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The large, single, mahogany red blooms are fragrant and open early. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Picture tulip.
