Notes
'Peach Mystique' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Peach Mystique') 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. J. H. Phillips bred it. The Japanese form flowers open peach pink with yellow centers and fade to white in late spring. Side buds tend to bloom at the same time, and the wide leaves keep a healthy sheen.
Pairs well with Sensitive fern, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Carlton daffodil.
