Peony 'Cora Stubbs'

‘Cora Stubbs’ is a double peony with Japanese-type, anemone-like flowers. The [American Peony Society registry](https://americanpeonysociety.org/cultivars/peony-registry/cora-stubbs/) describes its blooms as pink with a rounded white center. This distinctive flower form brings contrasting color and texture to a spring peony display. ### Placement Iowa State University Extension recommends full sun or part sun and fertile, well-drained soil that stays moist. Plant peonies in a perennial border where spring flowers can be enjoyed and foliage can serve as a green backdrop after flowering. Avoid persistently wet soil. ## Maintenance Peonies are long-lived plants that are best planted and left in place. Deadhead after flowering and remove foliage at ground level in fall, following Iowa State Extension guidance.
