Notes
'Dorothy E. Kibby' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dorothy E. Kibby') 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. Choose a spot in your garden that matches those needs, and the plant can return year after year. You can bring stems indoors to enjoy in a vase. George Hollis bred it in 1907.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Black Hero tulip.
