Notes
'Moon-Yen-Claire' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Moon-Yen-Claire') 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 rose blooms have a Japanese type flower form, which means the center is filled with narrow petal-like parts. Sarah A. Pleas bred it, so you can enjoy a unique garden classic.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Indian grass, and Miss Kim lilac.
