Notes
'Adrienne' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Adrienne') 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. In early summer it bears light pink flowers with purple splotches at the base of the petals and golden stamens at the center. The foliage looks good all season, and the bloom is reliable. Charles His bred it.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Black Hero tulip, and Blue sage.
