Notes
'Love Lee' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Love Lee') 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 double flowers are light pink with a vivid lilac pink glow in the center. They bloom in late spring on strong stems above dense foliage. Edward F. Hruby bred it.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Sensitive fern, and Knapweed.
