Notes

'Hargrove Hudson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hargrove Hudson') 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 large, fragrant blooms are an even light pink with lighter edges. Gilbert H. Wild & Son bred it, and the stems are sturdy and medium in height.

Pairs well with Royal fern, Black Parrot tulip, and Ageratum.
