Notes
'Mattie Charles' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mattie Charles') 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, so they add a bright splash of color to the garden. You can cut a few blooms to enjoy indoors in a vase. Sarah A. Pleas bred this cultivar.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Sedge, and Little Beauty tulip.
