Notes
'Cora Stubbs' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cora Stubbs') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant pink blooms have cream centers and attract butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Globemaster allium, Foxglove, and Purple cranesbill.
