Notes
'Margaret Clark' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Margaret Clark') 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. Its large, double flowers are deep pink and open late in spring. Walter Z. Mains bred it, and it makes a show flower on a good plant.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Garlic chives, and Kentucky bluegrass.
