Notes
'Beatrice Kelway' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Beatrice Kelway') 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 fragrant Japanese type flowers have rose-pink outer petals and central petaloids tipped and edged in fawn and gold. Stout stems hold the tall, vigorous plant upright. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
