Notes
'Leonard Kelway' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Leonard Kelway') 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. Its pink blooms look lovely in a vase, so you can cut a few for the house. Plant it where it has room to settle in and return each year. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Switchgrass.
