Notes
'Sharon’s Blush' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sharon’s Blush') 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 double flowers open in late spring and fade from light blush-pink to white. The blooms are highly fragrant and last well in a vase. Stems carry several side buds, so give the plant support.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Garlic chives, and Queen of Night tulip.
