Notes
'Pink Prince' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Prince') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Its large, cup shaped, double soft pink blooms are fragrant and lie on top of the low plant, much like a tree peony. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. William S. Bockstoce bred it.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Limelight hydrangea, and Creeping phlox.
