Notes

'Pandora' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pandora') 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. Large, full, flat double flowers of rose pink open early on strong stems. The plants reach a large size soon, so give them room. Walter J. Guille bred it.

Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
