Notes
'Judge Orr' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Judge Orr') 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. Pink flowers open in early summer. The extremely large, flat blooms have long, narrow petals that give them a feathery look. J.V. Edlund bred it.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Indian grass, and Winterberry.
