Notes
'Olive Barrett' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Olive Barrett') 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 pink blooms that look lovely in a vase. Kelway bred it, so it comes from a long line of garden peonies.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Stargazer lily, and Blue sage.
