Notes
'Meigetsuko' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Meigetsuko') 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 lilac-pink flowers open in late spring. They are held well above the foliage on a large, spreading plant, so give it room.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Lanceleaf coreopsis, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
