'Takaradama' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Takaradama') 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 plant stays small and erect. Its medium-size Japanese type flowers open late and are held well above the foliage.

Pairs well with Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
