Notes
'Coral Queen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Queen') 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. Large blush pink blooms with faint rose dots open in late spring. The tall, strong stems hold the flowers well, and the plant blooms freely. Hans Peter Sass bred it.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Immortality iris, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
