Notes
'Mrs. Eva Barron' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Eva Barron') 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. Seashell-pink rose-type blooms open in early summer and have a strong, pleasant rose fragrance. The stems are long and stiff, and the broad dark green leaves look good all season.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Garlic chives, and Orange lily.
