Notes
'Edith H. Ray' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edith H. Ray') 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. Peonies make good cut flowers, so you can bring a few stems indoors. The bed stays tidy when you plant it among other perennials.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Sensitive fern, and Black Parrot tulip.
