Notes
'Flow’ret of Eden' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Flow’ret of Eden') 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 large, double flowers open light rose-pink and fade to flesh-pink at the center. The centers turn almost white with age. Stems are strong but may bend under the weight of the blooms, so you can stake them if needed.
Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Western sword fern, and Japanese spirea.
