Notes
'Garden Prairie' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Garden Prairie') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 Japanese type blooms are cerise with a cream center and reach 5 inches wide. Strong stems hold the blooms upright on plants about 30 inches tall. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
