Notes
'Mother Ross' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mother Ross') 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 double blooms are medium to large and have delicate light pink outer petals with a pink center. The petals sit in a neat, symmetrical pattern, and the good stems hold the flowers well.
Pairs well with Catnip, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum.
