Notes
'Frank E. Good' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Frank E. Good') 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. Large, fragrant flowers open flesh pink in late spring, with a brownish salmon center. Long, strong stems hold the blooms up well, which makes them good for cutting.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Cheerfulness daffodil, Sedge, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
