Notes
'She’s My Star' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'She’s My Star') 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. It blooms in mid-season with soft pink, fragrant flowers on stems with good strength. Each stem carries three to five buds, so the plant gives you plenty of blooms to cut.
Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Smooth hydrangea, and Ostrich fern.
