Notes

'Flippancy' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Flippancy') 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 has Japanese type flowers with pale pink guards and pale pink staminodes tipped in gold. The blossoms are strong and well formed. Mrs. Walter Campbell Lyman bred it in 1939.

Pairs well with Miss Kim lilac, American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, and Royal fern.
