Notes
'Pink Cameo' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Cameo') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant white blooms have delicate pink shading and a neat, globular shape. Myron D. Bigger bred it in 1954. The glossy, medium green foliage stays healthy all season.
Pairs well with Compass plant, Spanish bluebell, and Royal fern.
