Notes
'Sylvia Louise' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sylvia Louise') 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. Its double flowers are Tyrian-purple, which gives the border a rich color. Cut the blooms for a vase and enjoy them indoors. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, David garden phlox, and Spanish bluebell.
