Notes

'Anna' peony (Paeonia 'Anna') 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 fragrant, creamy-yellow flowers have raspberry pink flares, and the stems hold them upright without support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Dittany, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
