Notes
'Agnes Keogh' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Agnes Keogh') 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. It bears pink blooms in early summer, which makes it a bright choice for a bouquet. Cut the stems for a vase when the buds begin to open. James Farquhar bred it.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Queen of Night tulip, and Western sword fern.
