Notes
'Maud E. Ticknor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Maud E. Ticknor') 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 large, double flowers open early in pale rose pink. Broad guard petals frame an incurved center. Schroeder bred it, and the color seldom fades.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Sedge, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
