Notes
'Jiehui' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Jiehui') 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. Its deep purplish pink anemone flowers open in mid to late spring and have a moderate fragrance. The plant stays about 23 to 25 inches tall, and its upright stems need no support.
