Notes

'Beatrice' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Beatrice') 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 single flowers open rose-pink and age to light pink, with golden anthers in the center. Peter Barr bred it.

Pairs well with Immortality iris, Prairie dropseed, and Picture tulip.
