Notes
'Judith Eileen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Judith Eileen') 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, medium pink flowers are fragrant and open easily in late spring. The center builds as each flower matures, and the stems hold up well in bloom.
Pairs well with Brown-eyed Susan, Grape hyacinth, and Cinnamon fern.
