Notes
'Pink Flash' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Flash') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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, light pink flowers have rose-pink flares and a pleasing fragrance, and the upright mound grows about 28 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Stargazer lily, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
