Notes
Missie's Blush peony (Paeonia lactiflora Missie's Blush) is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blush blooms fade to white and open as full doubles in mid to late spring. Strong stems hold the flowers up well, which makes them good for cutting.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Black Hero tulip, and Sedge.
