Notes
'Dr Gary E. Jones' peony (Paeonia 'Dr Gary E. Jones') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Deep pink, ruffled, fragrant blooms open in early to late spring on strong stems held high above the light to medium green foliage. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with September Charm anemone, Susan magnolia, and Lily.
