Notes

'Evie Jane' peony (Paeonia 'Evie Jane') 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 and average moisture. Fragrant raspberry red blooms open in spring and summer and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Donald Robert Smith bred it.

Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Halcyon hosta, Nodding onion, and Sedge.
