Notes

'Pink Swan' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Swan') 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 semi-double flowers are a soft pink with silvery edged petals and a strong fragrance. They open in mid to late spring above broad, dark green leaves. The blooms last well.

Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Black Hero tulip, and New Jersey tea.
