Notes
'Běi Lín Zhī XīN {Lin’S Heart}' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Běi Lín Zhī XīN {Lin’S Heart}') 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. The double pink flowers open in late spring and have a light fragrance. Lower petals open first and fade lighter, so the darker upper petals stand out. It grows upright to 26 inches and needs no support.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Queen of Night tulip.
