Notes

'Sir Madho Singh' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sir Madho Singh') 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. Kelway bred it. The large, dark Tyrian pink flowers have a Japanese form and open in mid season. The plant grows large and spreading, so give it room.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Blue sage.
