Notes

'Edith Lyttleton' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edith Lyttleton') 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 bears pink blooms that you can cut and bring indoors for bouquets, or leave on the plant to color the border. Kelway bred it.

Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Spanish bluebell, and Foxtail barley.
