Notes

'Anaconda' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Anaconda') 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. It has Japanese type flowers in pink. Reno Rosefield bred it, and you can cut the blooms for bouquets.

Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
