Notes
'Wilton Lockwood' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Wilton Lockwood') 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, double, light rose-pink flowers open cupped and relax with age. Red splashes mark the center, and the blooms are mildly fragrant. It is a tall, strong grower with good foliage.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
