Notes
'Blushing Princess' peony (Paeonia 'Blushing Princess') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, blush pink flowers are semi-double, and some have so many petaloids that they look nearly double. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Hosta, Phantom panicle hydrangea, Sedge, and Black Hero tulip.
