Notes
'Butleigh' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Butleigh') 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 single flowers open in silvery pink, a soft shade that suits a cut flower vase as well as a garden border. Kelway bred this cultivar, and it adds gentle color to a sunny bed.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Pearly everlasting.
