Notes
'Meadowvale' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Meadowvale') 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. Fragrant rose-pink or violet-red blooms open in early summer on a compact plant. George Hollis bred it in 1903.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Woolly yarrow, Sensitive fern, and Carlton daffodil.
