Notes
'Variegata' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Variegata') 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. Its pink blooms add soft color to the garden and also make good bouquets for indoors. George Annesley, Earl of Mountnorris, bred it.
