Notes
'Mrs. Livingston Farrand' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Livingston Farrand') 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. It bears large, double, rose-shaped flowers in a bright, pure pink. The plant reaches about 44 inches tall and grows strongly. Its stems are strong enough to hold the blooms, and the clump increases rapidly.
Pairs well with African Queen lily, Blue grama, and New Jersey tea.
