Notes
'Mulligan' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mulligan') 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 open brick-red. Kelway bred it, so you can enjoy a classic peony form in your garden.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Switchgrass, and Orange lily.
