Notes
'Mandaleen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mandaleen') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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, light pink blooms are full double with a sweet rose fragrance. The color does not fade in the sun. Cut flowers keep well, so bring some indoors.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Sedge, Black Hero tulip, and Carnation.
