Notes
'Victorian Blush' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Victorian Blush') 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. Double blush white blooms open in late season with light pink shading, and each stem carries one bud. The petals unfold well, and the foliage stays clean. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Monkshood, Pink Impression tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
