Notes
'Pink Gem' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Gem') 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 flowers open in early to late spring. Their color fades slowly, so the blooms look fresh for a long season. J.R. Mann bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Arrowwood viburnum.
