Notes

'Mrs. M.B. Beckett' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. M.B. Beckett') 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 flowers are pink, so they add soft color to a sunny bed. Cut a few stems for a vase and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Spanish bluebell.
