Notes
'Alpheus Hyatt' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Alpheus Hyatt') 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 come in bright rose-pink or seashell-pink, which gives the plant a soft look in a mixed border. Cut a few stems for a vase to bring the color indoors. John Richardson bred this peony.
Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, David garden phlox, Incrediball hydrangea, and Ostrich fern.
