Notes
'Ernest V. Taylor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ernest V. Taylor') 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 double pink flowers that look lovely in a vase. Kelway bred it, and you can plan a spot for it in the garden now, though it is not yet in general commerce.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Switchgrass, and Indian Summer rudbeckia.
