Notes
'Mrs. Philip Belben' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Philip Belben') 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 flowers add soft color to the garden and look lovely in a vase. Kelway bred it, so it comes from a long line of garden peonies. Plant it where it can grow undisturbed for years.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Eastern columbine, and Queen of Night tulip.
