Notes
'Pink Charm' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Charm') is a perennial for borders, cut flower arrangements, 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 early, double blooms are soft flesh-pink and fragrant. Broad outer petals surround shorter, twisted, overlapping petals. Ernest Flint Kelsey bred it.
Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Sensitive fern, and Carlton daffodil.
