Notes
'Lillian Wild' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lillian Wild') 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 large light pink blooms fade to white in late spring and early to mid summer. The tall stems stand up well, and the flowers get bigger and fuller as the plant ages.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Little Beauty tulip, and Tall fescue.
