Notes
'Junior Miss' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Junior Miss') 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 fragrant, medium pink double flowers have a tight bud and hold up well even when wet. Stems are strong, and plants reach about 39 inches tall. Flowers open best in cool weather or with ample moisture.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Ostrich fern.
