Notes
'Martha Washington' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Martha Washington') 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. George Hollis bred it. Cut the blooms for the vase and plant it where its clumps can fill out a border.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Immortality iris, and Carlton daffodil.
