Notes
'Memorial Queen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Memorial Queen') 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. It is a sport of 'Edulis Superba' and matches that variety in every way except bloom color. The flowers are clear pink, the same color as Sarah Bernhardt.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Nepeta, and Sensitive fern.
