Notes
'Pink Tinkerbelle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Tinkerbelle') 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. Salmon-pink double blooms open in mid to late spring and early summer. Each stem carries one bud, and the stems are strong, so the 22 inch plants hold 5 inch flowers well. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
