Notes
'Lacepede' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lacepede') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blooms add soft color to the garden and also look nice in a vase indoors. Kelway bred it. You can cut some flowers for bouquets and leave others to color the border.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Blanket flower, and Cinnamon fern.
