Notes
'Fragrant Pink Imp' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fragrant Pink Imp') 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. Light pink blooms open in early summer, with two to three on each stem. The upright plants reach about 28 inches and do not need support. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Smooth aster, Ostrich fern, and Maiden pink.
