Notes
'Marshland St James' peony (Paeonia 'Marshland St James') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Its large, slightly nodding, yellow double flowers open early, and bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plants reach about 35 inches tall.
Pairs well with June hosta, Cheerfulness daffodil, Polish Spirit clematis, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
