Notes

'Dr Lindley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr Lindley') is a perennial for borders, cut flower use, 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. Plant it where it can stay put for years, since peonies do best when left undisturbed.

Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Little bluestem, and Stargazer lily.
