Notes
'Janes Oleson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Janes Oleson') 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 dark red double blooms look like rose buds at first. They open up full and last well. The stems are strong and stand erect, so the plant can handle severe storms without damage.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
