Notes

'Miriam' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Miriam') 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 pink blooms bring soft color to a sunny border. You can cut the stems for bouquets and enjoy the flowers indoors. Herbert E. Chase bred this plant.

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