Notes
'Dolorodell' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dolorodell') 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. Its large, full double blooms are seashell-pink and open in late spring. Strong stems hold up the heavy flowers. Eugene H. Lins bred it.
Pairs well with Compass plant, Blue grama, and Aromatic aster.
