Notes
'Rhapsody In Pink' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rhapsody In Pink') 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 double flowers are a dull, silvery deep pink on upright plants. William Henry Krekler bred it, and Charles Klehm and Son Nursery introduced it in 1977.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
