Notes
'Dresden Pink' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dresden Pink') 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 medium pink blooms have frilled petals with crinkled silvery edges. Stems are stiff and strong, and the foliage looks good. Gilbert H. Wild & Son bred it.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Compass plant, and Kentucky bluegrass.
