Notes
'Moon Dance' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Moon Dance') 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 large pink flowers have a Japanese form with a yellow center. Edward Auten, Jr bred it, so you can enjoy the unusual blooms in vases.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Sedge.
