Notes
'Ling Bo Zui' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ling Bo Zui') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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. The pink semi-double blooms open in early to late spring, one per stem. Its name comes from its resemblance to a lotus flower. The upright stems grow to 34 inches (86 cm) and hold themselves up.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Miss Kim lilac, and Compass plant.
