Notes
'Pathfinder' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pathfinder') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Its full double, medium pink flowers are fragrant and bloom from mid to late spring into early summer. The stems are good for cutting. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
