Notes
'Hazel Kinney' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hazel Kinney') 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 double blooms are light flesh-pink with broad petals in a neat, symmetrical pattern. They open from mid to late spring into early summer. Archie M. Brand bred it, and the light green foliage stays at a medium height.
Pairs well with Columbine, Christmas fern, and Little Beauty tulip.
