Notes
'Coote' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Coote') 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. Its blooms are plum in color. Kelway bred it, so it makes a good pick for a classic cutting garden.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Indian grass, and Miss Kim lilac.
