Notes
'Enticing' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Enticing') 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, double, light pink blooms open in late spring. Strong, stiff stems hold the flowers up well, and the foliage looks good all season. Edward F. Hruby bred it.
Pairs well with Sedge, Picture tulip, and Brown-eyed Susan.
