Notes
'Scatterbrain Pink' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Scatterbrain 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 fragrant white blooms have soft pink shading and green highlights. The twisted, fluted petals look scattered across each flower. Roy G. Klehm bred it in 1995.
Pairs well with Hollyhock, Cinnamon fern, and Spider flower.
