Notes
'Moline' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Moline') 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 fragrant double blooms open light pink with cream undertones and age to white. They appear in late spring and early summer, and this is a late variety. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Catnip, Black Parrot tulip, and Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea.
