Notes

'Pink Hat' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Hat') 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 pink blooms look like a sailor hat, with a brim and a crown. Do not disbud it, because the side buds open into perfect miniatures.

Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Sedge, and Black Parrot tulip.
