Notes

'Betty Rose' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Betty Rose') 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 flowers are single and light pink, so they give a soft, open look in the garden. Archie M. Brand bred it. Cut the stems for bouquets when you want pink blooms indoors.

Pairs well with Blanket flower, Fringed bleeding heart, and Royal fern.
