Notes
Love's Touch peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Love’s Touch') 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 fragrant, softest pink blooms are semi-double to double and measure about 5½ inches across. Each stem carries one bud, and the flowers look like a well behaved shell pink camellia. It grows about 26 inches tall with good foliage.
Pairs well with Maiden pink, Smooth aster, Sedge, and Ostrich fern.
