Notes
'Oki' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Oki') 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. Millet & Son bred it in 1911. Large Tyrian pink flowers open in late spring and sit well above the compact foliage.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Incrediball hydrangea, and Sedge.
