Notes
'Becky’s Charm' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Becky’s Charm') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 light pink flowers are single to semi-double, measure 4½ inches across, and have a slight fragrance. Plants grow upright to 3½ feet, so give them support.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Indian grass, Stargazer lily, and Miss Kim lilac.
