Notes

'Indiana Jones' peony (Paeonia 'Indiana Jones') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Zlata Jennie Draskovich bred it. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The rose-red single flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies.

Pairs well with David garden phlox, Blue fescue, and Black Parrot tulip.
