Notes
'Jacqueminot' peony (Paeonia 'Jacqueminot') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 full double crimson blooms are fragrant, and the buds look like huge rosebuds. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Nodding onion, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
