Notes
'Ballroom Dancer' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ballroom Dancer') 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 pink flowers have a hint of lilac and a pleasant fragrance. They open in late spring on upright stems that reach about 36 inches and hold the blooms without support.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Carlton daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
