Baird peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Baird' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Baird') 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 double flowers are rosy purple. Double flowers can be heavy, so you can stake the plant for support. Kelway bred it.

Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Meadowsweet, and Picture tulip.
