Notes
'Harriet J. Neeley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Harriet J. Neeley') 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 double blooms are large and a deep, even rose pink. The color is so close to red that many people call it a red flower. Dr. John H. Neeley bred it.
Pairs well with Balloon flower, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
