Notes
'Norfolk' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Norfolk') 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. It bears double pink blooms in early summer. John Richardson bred it, and the flowers last well in a vase.
Pairs well with Compass plant, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
