Notes
'Henrietta Flory' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Henrietta Flory') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Big, deep pink double flowers open in late spring and stand well above a dense bush. The 33 inch stems are gracefully upright. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
