Notes
'Pink Sphinx' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Sphinx') 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. Double pink flowers have frilled, ruffled guard petals and bloom in early to midseason. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The upright plant needs no support.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Sedge.
