Notes

'Dorothy Daniels' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dorothy Daniels') 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. It grows tall and bears fragrant pink blooms. Kelway bred it, so you can cut the flowers for bouquets.
