Notes
'Jenny Lind' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Jenny Lind') 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 pink double flowers are fragrant, so they work well in a vase. Peter Barr bred it.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Japanese spirea, and Switchgrass.
