Notes

'Leona Caustin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Leona Caustin') 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 double flowers are deep pink, so they add rich color to a bed. The full blooms also look good in a vase. Pfeiffer Nursery bred it.

Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Blue grama, and Shrub rose.
