Notes

'Giant' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Giant') 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. Its pink flowers look lovely in a vase, so you can cut a few stems for bouquets. Plant it where the blooms will stand out in the garden. Kelway bred it.

Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Royal fern, and Spotted dead nettle.
