Notes
'Gardener’s Joy' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Gardener’s Joy') 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 semi-double blooms open soft pink and fade to white. It grows tall, so you may want to give it support in the border.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Empress Wu hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Nodding onion.
