Notes

'Hong Fen Jia Ren' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hong Fen Jia Ren') 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 fragrant pink flowers are single, with rounded petals that each have a deep notch. Each stem carries one bloom. Jun Tao bred it, and the tall stems need no extra support.

Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black chokeberry.
