Notes
'Leslie Dudley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Leslie Dudley') 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 large double blooms have deep rose outer petals with bright pink and cream inside. Kelway bred it, and the cheerful flowers make a good show in a vase.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Switchgrass.
