Notes

'Maiden’s Blush' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Maiden’s Blush') 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. It bears pink blooms that look lovely in a vase. Plant it where it can stay for years, since peonies do not like to be moved.

Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Lungwort, and Blue grama.
