Notes
'Patricia' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Patricia') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Large blush semi-double blooms open in early to mid spring on extra tall stems. They last well as cut flowers. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Royal fern, and Showy milkweed.
