Notes
'Debora Gray' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Debora Gray') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 large, double pink blooms open in late spring with silvery shading and a deeper wine-pink center. The upright bush grows about 33 inches tall, and William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Cinnamon fern, Tall fescue, and Orange lily.
