Eleanor Dana peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Eleanor Dana' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Eleanor Dana') 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 large bomb-type flowers are a silvery salmon pink and fragrant. The stems are good and heavy, but they may not hold the immense blooms up in wet weather, so you can add support.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Limelight hydrangea, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
