Notes

'Rose Fluff' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rose Fluff') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blooms are large and rose-pink, and they open in mid to late spring. Stems are strong and the foliage is medium dark green. Ernest Flint Kelsey bred it.

Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Catnip, Black Hero tulip, and Ostrich fern.
