Notes
'Umbellata rosea' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Umbellata rosea') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 large, rose-pink blooms have a cream center with amber shading and open in early to mid spring. The plant grows upright and blooms freely, so it fills a bed with color.
Pairs well with Maiden pink, Black Hero tulip, and Blue grama.
