Notes
'Hairpin Phoenix' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hairpin Phoenix') 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. Mid-pink anemone flowers face upward and carry a noticeable fragrance. The plant grows upright to about 31 inches, so it needs no support.
Pairs well with Smooth aster, Rock soapwort, and Royal fern.
