'Beautiful Star' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Beautiful Star') 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. George Hollis bred it. Cut the blooms for bouquets and plant it where its flowers can stand out in a mixed border.
