Notes
'Joe Hanratty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Joe Hanratty') 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. Edward J. Gardner bred it. Strong, tall stems hold the large, flat, double deep pink blooms erect in mid to late spring. It blooms heavily.
Pairs well with Catnip, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Northern bayberry.
