Notes
'Kelway’s Glorious' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Kelway’s Glorious') 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 huge white double flowers open in mid to late spring and have a strong, rose-like fragrance. Strong stems hold the blooms up, but the plant needs time to do its best.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Carnaval De Nice tulip, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
