Notes
'Shirine' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Shirine') 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 refined flowers are a delicate pink that can fade to almost white. Medium, tall, strong stems hold the blooms up well.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Spotted beebalm.
