Notes

'Lotus Cup' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lotus Cup') 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 large, semi-double pink flowers look like water lilies and show many stamens. Dr. John H. Neeley bred it as Seedling No. 39.

Pairs well with Monkshood, Spanish bluebell, and Hummingbird sweet pepperbush.
