Notes
'Edith West' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edith West') 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. The plant is medium size and spreads. Its single, large, blush pink flowers open in mid to late spring. Many blooms sit well above the foliage, so they are easy to cut.
Pairs well with Smooth aster, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Little Beauty tulip.
