Notes
'Pink Pleasure' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Pleasure') 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 double, medium pink blooms have a high crown and solid guard petals. Each stem carries 2 to 3 buds, and the plant blooms reliably. William Henry Krekler bred it, and it grows about 30 inches tall.
Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, Japanese spirea, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
