Notes
'Grace Kelsey' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Grace Kelsey') 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 large, double flowers are pink and open in mid to late spring. Strong stems hold the blooms up, and the plant is a vigorous grower.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Ostrich fern, Picture tulip, and Pussytoes.
