Notes
'Anne Cunningham' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Anne Cunningham') 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. Gilbert S. Richmond bred it. The tall plant has deep old-rose pink, fully double flowers in late spring. The loose blooms sit high on wiry stems.
