Notes
'A.J. Hunter' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'A.J. Hunter') 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. It bears rose-colored blooms that look lovely in a vase. You can pair it with spring bulbs and grasses for a mixed planting that stays interesting through the season. Cut the stems for bouquets when you want flowers indoors.
