Notes

'Hawa' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hawa') 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 red flowers have silver edges and a Japanese type form. Millet & Son bred it.

Pairs well with Sweet William, Queen of Night tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
