Notes
'Little Sweetheart' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Little Sweetheart') 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 small, round flowers are pink. It stays a true midget, so it fits well at the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Queen of Night tulip, and Western sword fern.
