Notes
'Zuni Lad' peony (Paeonia 'Zuni Lad') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 red blooms have golden-yellow centers and a sweet scent, and butterflies and bees visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Hosta, Stargazer lily, and Switchgrass.
