Notes
'Flower Girl' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Flower Girl') 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. Its double blush blooms fade to white and have a rose scent. The stiff stems stay short, so the plants stand up well. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Miss Kim lilac, Orange lily, and Shrub rose.
