Notes
'Barbara Jean Rohe' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Barbara Jean Rohe') 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 white flowers open in mid to late spring and have a moderate fragrance. Strong stems hold the blooms upright, and the plant flowers freely. R. A. Napier bred it.
Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Sedge, Ostrich fern, and Picture tulip.
