'The Jewel' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'The Jewel') 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. Sarah A. Pleas bred it. You can cut the blooms for bouquets and then enjoy the clump in the border for years.
