Notes
'Marie Jacquin' peony (Paeonia 'Marie Jacquin') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fragrant pale pink blooms fade to creamy white around a cluster of yellow stamens. Disbud it if you want blooms for cutting. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
