Notes
'Diminutive Lady' peony (Paeonia 'Diminutive Lady') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, 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. It stays about 16 inches tall and bears seashell-pink, ruffled blooms with a sweet fragrance that bees and butterflies visit. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Blue grama, and Garlic chives.
