Notes
'Sistie' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sistie') is a perennial for borders, cut flower use, 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 pink blooms are rose fragrant and fade to white. Edward Auten, Jr bred it. The stems are only fair, so you may want to give the heavy blooms some support.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
