Notes
'Impish Grin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Impish Grin') 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. The small blooms are white to cream with deep pink edges and green flecks. They open in late spring on good stems that reach 26 inches tall. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
