Notes
'Sarah K. Thurlow' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah K. Thurlow') 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 large, rose-form flowers are flesh white with crimson streaks, and many petals are crimped like crepe. The blooms smell sweet, and the stiff stems hold them up well.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Queen of Night tulip, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Miss Kim lilac.
