Notes
'Lady Kate' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lady Kate') 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 double, rather flat flowers are solid light pink and open late in spring. The stems are tall and strong. Judge Laurence A. Vories bred it.
Pairs well with Royal fern, Pink Impression tulip, and Spanish bluebell.
