Notes

'John Alden' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'John Alden') 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. Tall stems carry small, fragrant, rose pink flowers of good rose form in late spring. W. A. Dana bred it.

Pairs well with Lilac, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
