Notes
'Marjorie Howe' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Marjorie Howe') 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. It bears double, lilac pink flowers in late spring. The plant stays dwarf, so it fits well in the front of a bed. Gilbert S. Richmond bred it.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Limeglow creeping juniper, and Bloodroot.
