Pitney peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Pitney' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pitney') 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 shell-pink flowers are single, so each bloom shows one simple layer of petals. You can cut the blooms for a vase and enjoy them indoors. Kelway bred this cultivar.

Pairs well with Smooth aster, Indian grass, and Rock soapwort.
