Notes
'Tickle Me Pink' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Tickle Me Pink') 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 single white flowers have pink streaks and ruffled, twisted petals that unfurl into a frilly bloom. They open from mid to late spring into early summer. The stems stand upright, so you do not need to stake them.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Japanese spirea, and Sedge.
