Notes
'Yanlong Yanzhuang' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Yanlong Yanzhuang') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Deep pink double flowers open in late spring and face upward. Plants stand about 35 inches tall with an upright habit, so they do not need staking.
Pairs well with Sedge, Sensitive fern, Grape hyacinth, and Northern bayberry.
