Notes
'Ruth Lockie' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ruth Lockie') 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 dark pink and fragrant. Kummer bred it, so it makes a sweet-smelling bloom for bouquets.
Pairs well with New England aster, Indian grass, and Quick Fire panicle hydrangea.
