Notes
'Mrs. A.L. Chapin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. A.L. Chapin') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 Japanese type flower sits on the border line between red and pink. It looks almost like an anemone type, and it is at its best when first opened.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Black-eyed Susan, Carlton daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
