Notes

Kelway's Eve peony (Paeonia lactiflora Kelway's Eve) is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 single flowers are flesh-pink, which gives the bed a soft look. Cut a few stems to bring indoors.

Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Blazing star, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sedge.
