Notes
'Pink Delight' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Delight') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. It bears large, single, rose pink blooms with a pink disk and carpels tipped in bright red. It spreads to a medium size, so give it room. Charles Klehm and Son Nursery introduced it in 1995.
Pairs well with Siberian squill, Ostrich fern, and Brown-eyed Susan.
