Notes
'Artist' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Artist') 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 rose flowers look lovely in a vase and add color to a border. Kelway bred it. Pick a spot where you can enjoy the blooms up close and cut them for bouquets.
Pairs well with Hollyhock, Ostrich fern, Little Beauty tulip, and Blue sage.
