Notes
'Lee W. Pollock' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lee W. Pollock') 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. It bears large, double, deep pink blooms in early to mid summer. The rich rose color is unique, and the flowers look handsome in a vase. Archie M. Brand bred it.
Pairs well with Siberian squill, Brown-eyed Susan, Ostrich fern, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
