Notes
'Lietuvos Ateitis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lietuvos Ateitis') 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. Its double, soft lilac-pink flowers open in mid to late spring and have a pleasant fragrance. The upright stems reach about 39 inches, so give them support when in flower.
Pairs well with Immortality iris, Matrona october daphne, Sedge, and Love-in-a-mist.
