Notes
'Feather Top' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Feather Top') 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. Gilbert H. Wild & Son bred it in 1967. The pink flowers have a yellow center and open in early summer. Stiff stems hold the blooms upright.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Spotted dead nettle, and Blue sage.
