Notes

'Lois Quisenberry' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lois Quisenberry') 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. Arthur L. Murawska bred it. The large, globular flowers are deep pink with orange shading and a light fragrance. They sit on strong, stiff stems on a short plant.

Pairs well with Siberian squill, Charles Joly lilac, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
