Notes

'Mr. B.H. Farr' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mr. B.H. Farr') 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 flowers have a Japanese type form. They are dark pink, so they stand out in a bed and make a bold bouquet.

Pairs well with Francee hosta, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Western sword fern.
