Notes
'Harmony' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Harmony') 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 flat, wax-like blooms open palest rose and darken toward a golden center. They appear in late spring and early summer on stems about 39 inches tall. R.H. Jones bred it.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Tickseed, and Sensitive fern.
