Notes

'Pink Perfection' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Perfection') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 large, double pink blooms open in late spring and smell fragrant. The petals curve inward, and the outer petals turn white with age. Tall stems and good foliage make it a strong garden plant.

Pairs well with Columbine, Virginia spiderwort, Western sword fern, and Spanish bluebell.
