Notes
'Bataan' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bataan') 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 flowers are double and red, so they add bold color to a bed or a vase. Alonzo B. Franklin bred this cultivar.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, White Feather hosta, and Sedge.
