Notes
'Lullaby Coos' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lullaby Coos') 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. Light pink semi-double blooms age to white and have red tipped stigmas. Strong stems carry one bud each, so the flowers hold up well. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and it blooms in mid to late spring.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Musk mallow, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
