Notes
'Pink Cotton Candy' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Cotton Candy') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 double, ball-shaped blooms are light pink with deeper pink highlights and a slight fragrance. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. David Reath bred it in 2000.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Pink Impression tulip, Sedge, and Charles Joly lilac.
