Notes
'Pink Wonder' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pink Wonder') 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. Myron D. Bigger bred it in 1950. The large, double flowers are bright pink, and darker petal bases add extra brightness. The stems are strong and the foliage stays clean.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
