Notes
'Beautiful Senorita' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Beautiful Senorita') 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. Deep pink guard petals surround cream petaloids in fragrant blooms. Each stem carries one bud, and plants reach about 30 inches tall. William Henry Krekler bred it.
