Notes
'Seashell' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Seashell') 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 single flowers are a light, satiny pink. It grows tall, so you may want to give it a spot where the blooms can stand out.
Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Picture tulip, and Sensitive fern.
