Notes
'E.T. Cook' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'E.T. Cook') 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 flowers are pink, so they add soft color to a sunny bed. Cut a few stems to bring the blooms indoors.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Stargazer lily, Lungwort, and Miss Kim lilac.
