Notes
'Cinderella' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cinderella') 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. R.H. Jones bred it. Its single, light pink flowers are large, fragrant, and hold their color. The heavy bloom comes in early summer on stems about 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Spanish bluebell, and Sensitive fern.
