Notes

'Scarf Dance' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Scarf Dance') 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 light pink and white flowers have several irregular rows of long, narrow petals and few stamens. Edward Auten, Jr bred it, and gardeners who love unusual blooms will enjoy it.

Pairs well with Tickseed, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
