Notes
'Pink Spritzer' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Spritzer') 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 cactus-style flowers are medium pink streaked with light green, and they open in early summer. William Henry Krekler bred it, and each stem carries one or two buds.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Sensitive fern, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
