Notes
'Pink Jewel' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Jewel') 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. Bright pink petals surround a center of yellow stamens. The flowers open in early to mid spring in clusters, which prolong the bloom period. Good stems hold the blooms upright.
Pairs well with Butterfly milkweed, Smooth aster, and Cinnamon fern.
