Notes
'Roselthea' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Roselthea') 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. Tall, upright stems carry fragrant pink blooms that smell lovely in a vase. Plant it where you can enjoy the scent up close. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Lewis bred it.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Smooth hydrangea, Nodding onion, and Ostrich fern.
