Notes
'Emma Lewis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Emma Lewis') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 double pink flowers are fragrant, so you can cut a few for a vase. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Lewis bred it.
Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Prairie dropseed, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Picture tulip.
