Notes

'Nymph' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Nymph') 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, rose pink flowers open in mid season. They have a Japanese form with yellow staminodes at the center. The plant is medium size and spreads, so give it room.

Pairs well with Compass plant, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
