Notes
'Pink Cuddles' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Cuddles') 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. The fragrant, light pink double flowers open in early summer on stems about 28 inches tall. Each stem carries one to four buds, and pollen shows through on younger flowers. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and the foliage stays rich, deep green.
Pairs well with Siberian squill, Sedge, Picture tulip, and Sensitive fern.
