Notes

'Felicia' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Felicia') 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. It bears extra large, single, deep pink blooms in midseason. The stems stand up well, so the plant keeps a tidy, medium height. Edward J. Gardner bred it.

Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Picture tulip, and African Queen lily.
