Notes

'Nan Keen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Nan Keen') 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 double flowers are light rose pink on tall plants with a conical shape. Judge Laurence A. Vories bred it.

Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, PowWow White coneflower, Nodding onion, and Ostrich fern.
