Notes
'Minamota' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Minamota') 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 pink flowers are double to semi-double, so they look full in the garden. You can cut the blooms for bouquets indoors. Millet & Son bred it.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Lanceleaf coreopsis, and Cinnamon fern.
