Notes
'Pink Chiffon' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Chiffon') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. 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 light pink flowers have a Japanese form and a sweet scent. They bloom late for a hybrid, and bees and butterflies visit them. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Cut the blooms for a vase.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
