Notes
'Eva Iantha' peony (Paeonia 'Eva Iantha') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant pink flowers are double and ball shaped, and they measure 6 to 7 inches across. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. C. R. Aldritt bred it.
