Notes

'Minnie Lucas' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Minnie Lucas') 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. Its large, loose, rose-type flowers are medium pink and fragrant. They open in mid-season on tall, stiff stems. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.

Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Black Hero tulip.
