Notes

'Pink Giggles' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Giggles') 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 deep pink blooms have a Japanese flower form and a sweet fragrance. They open in early summer above medium green foliage. William Henry Krekler bred it.

Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Blue sage, and Garlic chives.
