Notes

'The Grace' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'The Grace') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flower gardens. 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 double flowers are a delicate light pink or blush. Strong stems hold the blooms up well. Walter L. Gumm bred it.

Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Star Gazer lily, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
