Notes
'Sefton' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sefton') 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. Its pink flowers make a soft color accent in the garden. Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms up close. You can also cut the stems and bring the flowers indoors.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Charles Joly lilac, and Pink Impression tulip.
