Notes

'Medon' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Medon') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 blooms are blush pink with a white center. Kelway bred it, and the flowers last well in a vase.

Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Nepeta, and Carlton daffodil.
