Notes

'Lullaby' peony (Paeonia 'Lullaby') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant blooms open light pink and age to cream, and the heavy blooms on tall stems need staking.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Switchgrass, and Carlton daffodil.
