'Pink Lion King' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Lion King') 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 fragrant, mauve-pink flowers bloom in early to mid spring.
