Notes
'Spring Maid' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Spring Maid') 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 flowers are pink, so they add soft color to a sunny bed. You can cut the blooms for a vase.
Pairs well with Queen of Night tulip, Cinnamon fern, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
