Notes

'Thomas Meehan' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Thomas Meehan') 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 pink and edged in white, so they stand out against green foliage. Cut the blooms for bouquets and enjoy them indoors. H.A. Terry bred it.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Immortality iris, and Prairie dropseed.
