Notes
'Fairy Dance' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fairy Dance') 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 pink single flowers open early and show green carpels at the center. Tall, stiff stems hold the blooms upright. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Tickseed, Wild geranium, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
