Notes
'Bee Happy' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bee Happy') 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. Semi-double white flowers open in mid to late spring, and some outer petal edges are tinged fuchsia. Plants reach about 30 inches tall, and the upright stems need no support.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
