Notes
'Victoria’s Powderpuff' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Victoria’s Powderpuff') 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. Each stem carries 2 to 5 Japanese form blooms up to 6½ inches wide, with medium-pink outer petals around a creamy-pink center. Upright stems may need support in flower if you leave the sidebuds on.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Sedge, Grape hyacinth, and Queen Sophia French marigold.
