Notes
'Deborah Sayles' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Deborah Sayles') 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, single, seashell-pink flowers open in mid to late spring. The blooms have a broad, dark pink disk in the center. The plant spreads to a medium size, so give it room.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Hairy aster, and Garlic chives.
