Notes

'Homer' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Homer') 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 blooms add color to the garden and look lovely in a vase. You can cut the flowers for indoor bouquets. Kelway bred it.

Pairs well with Coralbells, Baby's breath, Incrediball hydrangea, and Spanish bluebell.
