Notes

'Hutton' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hutton') 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 add soft color to the border, and you can cut them for a vase. Kelway bred it. Plant it with other perennials for a mixed bed.

Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Sedge, and Miss Kim lilac.
