Notes
'Jean A.' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Jean A.') 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 double flowers open light pink and fade to near white. Strong, medium tall stems seldom suffer storm damage. Well spaced side buds give a long season of bloom.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Rose, Love-in-a-mist, and Blue grama.
