Notes
'Nanette' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Nanette') 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. Its large, double blooms are a loosely built pale pink that fades to white. They open in mid to late spring on medium height stems of good strength. The plant blooms freely and grows with vigor.
Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Picture tulip, and Lily of the valley.
