Notes
'Duchess of Portland' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Duchess of Portland') 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 flowers are single and pink, so they bring soft color to a sunny bed. You can cut the blooms for bouquets and enjoy them indoors. Peter Barr bred it.
Pairs well with Catnip, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Sedge.
