Notes
'Anna Sass' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Anna Sass') 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. Its large, double, deep pink flowers open late in the midseason, from late spring to early summer. Tall, straight stems hold the blooms upright. Hans Peter Sass bred it.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, New England aster, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
