Notes

'Little Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Little Beauty') 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 flowers are double, so each bloom is full of petals. Sarah A. Pleas bred it. Cut stems make a nice bouquet for a vase indoors.

Pairs well with Phantom panicle hydrangea, Catnip, Pink Impression tulip, and Royal fern.
