Notes
'Pink Cupcake' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Cupcake') 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 single pink blooms have a double row of wide, round guard petals. Stems are strong and hold each bloom well, which makes it a good pick for cutting. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Siberian squill, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
