Notes
'Walter Campbell Lyman' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Walter Campbell Lyman') 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, shell pink flowers are rose shaped and fragrant. They open in late spring, rather later than many peonies. Mrs. 'Walter Campbell Lyman' bred it.
Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Stargazer lily, and Switchgrass.
