Notes
'Blush' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Blush') 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 have a rose shape and wide petals. The color does not fade, and strong upright stems hold the blooms well.
Pairs well with False Solomon's seal, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and African Queen lily.
