Notes
Kelway's Luck peony (Paeonia lactiflora Kelway's Luck) 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. Kelway bred it. The large, single, rose pink flowers open in mid to late spring. They are numerous and held high above the foliage, and the spreading plant needs room to grow.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Lungwort, Scentara Double Blue lilac, and Garlic chives.
