Notes
'Lucile Hartman' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lucile Hartman') 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. Light pink blooms are large, full, and rose shaped, and they open in late spring. Stiff stems hold the flowers on tall, upright plants that reach about 41 inches. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
Pairs well with Royal fern, Black Parrot tulip, and Wild ginger.
