Notes
'Lavender Mist' peony (Paeonia 'Lavender Mist') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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. Its fragrant, pale lavender flowers have ruffled petals that open well when cut, and Peter Waltz bred it. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Christmas fern, Black Hero tulip, and Sedge.
