Notes
'Mrs. Romaine B. Ware' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Romaine B. Ware') 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 flowers are medium large and light flesh-pink, shading lighter, with a slight rose fragrance. Slender but strong stems make it a good pick for cutting.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Western sword fern.
