Notes
'Abraham Lincoln' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Abraham Lincoln') 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 large double flowers bloom freely, which gives you plenty of stems to cut. W. E. Lanigan bred it.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Grape hyacinth, and Sedge.
