Notes
'Lois E. Klehm' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lois E. Klehm') 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. Pink semi-double blooms with gold stamens and pink centers open in early summer and smell sweet. Stems are strong and the foliage is deep green. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Grape hyacinth, and Cinnamon fern.
