Notes
'Jiang Nan Si Wu' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Jiang Nan Si Wu') 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. Rose-purple anemone flowers open in early to late spring and have a fragrance. The upright stems reach about 34 inches, and they do not need support.
Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Cinnamon fern, and False Solomon's seal.
