Notes
'Henrietta Huntington' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Henrietta Huntington') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 flowers open light pink, turn white, and have a slight fragrance. The stems are not strong, so the heavy blooms fall down, and you can support them with a ring or stakes.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
