Notes
'Madylone' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madylone') 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. Seashell-pink double blooms open in late spring and have a sweet fragrance. Neal R. Van Loon bred it. The plant, leaves, stems, and flowers are all extra large.
Pairs well with Pink Impression tulip, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
