Notes
'Day Dream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Day Dream') 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 pink Japanese blooms have yellow centers and are medium sized. Stiff, slender stems carry them above the foliage. Robert W. Auten bred it.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Little Beauty tulip.
