Notes

'Pink Flirtation' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Flirtation') 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 light pink flowers have lighter pink centers and measure 5 to 6 inches across. They sit on 24 inch stems, so they work well in a vase. Roger F. Anderson bred it.

Pairs well with Smooth aster, Rock soapwort, and Queen of Night tulip.
