Notes
'Hoosier Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Hoosier Beauty') 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. It blooms in mid to late spring with large, full double flowers that slowly fade from blush to white. Good stems make it a fine choice for cutting.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Blue grama, and Grape hyacinth.
