Notes

'Geraldine' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Geraldine') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant pink flowers have a light yellow center. Kelway bred it, and it has a spreading habit, so give it room.

Pairs well with Black Parrot tulip, Sensitive fern, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
