'Raspberry Cream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Raspberry Cream') 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 upward facing pink flowers have salmon-cream collars, and they have a high degree of fragrance. Plants reach about 110 cm (43") and may need support in adverse conditions.
