Notes
'Cherub' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cherub') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 light pink flowers are double and have a glowing flesh color. William Henry Krekler bred it, and you can cut the blooms for bouquets.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Tiger lily, and Sedge.
