Notes

'Ozark Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ozark Beauty') 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, fragrant, seashell-pink blooms have deeper pink undertones and a silvery sheen. They open on strong stems of medium height in late spring. Gilbert H. Wild & Son bred it.

Pairs well with Dutchman's breeches, Knapweed, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Queen of Night tulip.
