Notes

'Don Janus' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Don Janus') 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 double blooms are gleaming white with an opaline iridescence. Julian L. Janus bred it.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Nodding onion, and Ostrich fern.
