Notes
'Happy Family' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Happy Family') 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, cool-pink double flowers open in late spring to early summer, with about three buds per stem. The strong upright stems need no support.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Woodland phlox, and Sedge.
