Notes
'Marie Kelway' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Marie Kelway') 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. The flowers are double and pink, with yellow petaloids mixed in. Cut the stems for bouquets to enjoy the blooms indoors. In the border, plant it where its full flowers can be the focus.
Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Christmas fern, and Black Hero tulip.
