Notes

'Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Beauty') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Its pink blooms make a bright show in the garden and also look good in a vase. You can cut a few stems to bring indoors and still enjoy the plant outside. Peter Barr bred it.

Pairs well with Miss Kim lilac, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
