Notes
'Blushing Bride' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Blushing Bride') 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 single flowers open a light pink with a flesh tone. Cut a few stems for a vase and enjoy the soft color indoors. Walter L. Gumm bred it.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Carlton daffodil.
