Notes
'Leslie Peck' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Leslie Peck') 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. Deep pink blooms with peach-etched pink centers open in early to mid spring. The flowers sit above the foliage, and the plant has many side buds. Albert Niva bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Little Beauty tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
