Notes
'Shirley Ann' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Shirley Ann') 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. Its double red flowers are a good bloomer in late mid-season. The color lasts until each flower dies, and the stems are strong. George E. Winchell bred it.
Pairs well with Spider flower, Royal fern, and Pink Impression tulip.
