Notes
'James R. Mann' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'James R. Mann') 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 large, fragrant flowers are deep rosy pink with crimson streaks in the center. The crimped inner petals give the bloom a lotus-like look. Strong, upright stems carry broad foliage.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, White Feather hosta, and Spanish bluebell.
