Notes
'House Guest' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'House Guest') 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 flowers are double and pink, so they add a soft, full look to a sunny bed. You can cut the blooms for a vase. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Blue grama, and Meadowsweet.
