Notes
'Huldah Lewis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Huldah Lewis') 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 flowers are double and pink, so they make a full, soft show in the garden. You can cut the blooms for a vase indoors. George William Peyton bred it.
Pairs well with Iris, Sum and Substance hosta, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
