Notes
'J.N. Darling' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'J.N. Darling') 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 glowing pink flowers have a semi-rose form. It grows tall and strong, and its clean, healthy foliage stays green well into fall. Reno Rosefield introduced it.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, New England aster, and Sensitive fern.
