Notes
'Darius' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Darius') 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 single flowers are rose-pink. Peter Barr bred it, so you can enjoy a classic peony form in your garden.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, New England aster, and Royal fern.
