Notes
'Blushing Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Blushing Beauty') 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. It bears large, full, rose-type blooms in blush or light pink. The fragrant flowers open in late spring on good stems. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, Ostrich fern, and Birch.
