'Claude Barrow, Jr.' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Claude Barrow, Jr.') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 pink flowers have an informal shape and are among the largest in the garden.
