Notes
'Moses Hull' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Moses Hull') 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. The large double blooms are rose-pink with darker shading and a collar of pale pink and creamy white petals. They are fragrant and carry a slight rose scent. Stiff stems hold the flowers upright.
Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Lily of the valley, and Black Hero tulip.
