Notes
'Fu Lin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fu Lin') 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 fragrant, blush-white double flowers open in late spring and face upward. The plants stand upright at about 28 inches tall, so they do not need support.
Pairs well with Gooseneck loosestrife, Cinnamon fern, and Spanish bluebell.
