Notes
'Orange Prince' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Orange Prince') 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 Japanese type flowers are Tyrian pink and open in mid season. Sarah A. Pleas bred it in 1909. The plant is medium size and spreads, so give it room.
