Notes

'Little Nell' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Little Nell') 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. It bears pink blooms that make a good cut flower for the vase. Sarah A. Pleas bred it.

Pairs well with Catnip, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Western sword fern.
