Notes
'Narcia Lee' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Narcia Lee') 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 open from apple blossom pink buds to a delicate pink. A row of creamy petaloids at the base gives each bloom a lacy look. The stems are stiff and strong, so they hold the heavy flowers well.
Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Stargazer lily, Queen of Night tulip, and Winterberry.
