Notes

'Quite Content' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Quite Content') 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 blooms are pink, so they add soft color to bouquets and garden edges. George Hollis bred it.

Pairs well with Woodland phlox, Blue Angel hosta, Nodding onion, and Ostrich fern.
