Notes
'Leander Starr Jameson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Leander Starr Jameson') 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. The single flowers are blush-rose, so they bring a soft color to the garden. Kelway bred it, and the blooms look lovely in a vase.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Hairy aster, Bobo hydrangea, and Ostrich fern.
