Notes
'Mulchelney' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mulchelney') 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 blooms are pink, which makes it a bright pick for cutting and bringing indoors. Pink flowers also add a soft touch of color to a border, so you can mix them with plants that have different leaf shapes.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Paprika yarrow, and Sensitive fern.
