Notes
'Fuchsia Jazz' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fuchsia Jazz') 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 fragrant, single fuchsia blooms open in mid spring and measure about 6½ inches across. Each flower has matching fuchsia stigmas and sits above dark green foliage. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Columbine, Smooth aster, and Sensitive fern.
