Notes
'Anna Mary' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Anna Mary') 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. The double blooms open lemon-yellow and age to cream. They come late in the season, so this peony ends the peony show. Sturdy stems stand upright to 33 inches.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, Smooth aster, and Spanish bluebell.
