Notes
'Matalie Clayton' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Matalie Clayton') 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 compact, bomb-type blooms of silvery rose-pink in early summer with a light fragrance. The stems are straight and strong, and Col. Jesse C. Nicholls bred it.
Pairs well with New England aster, Switchgrass, and Lupine.
