'Pink Tuttifrutti' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Tuttifrutti') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. It grows about 28 inches tall with abundant medium green foliage. The fragrant medium pink blooms are 4½ inches wide, with streaking and some green tints. Each stem carries 2 to 3 buds, and the flowers have good substance.
