Notes
'Lord Morley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lord Morley') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 single flowers are crimson-purple and add bold color to the garden. You can cut the blooms to bring that color indoors. Kelway bred this peony.
Pairs well with Brown-eyed Susan, Charles Joly lilac, and Royal fern.
