Notes
'Wah-wah-tay-see' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Wah-wah-tay-see') 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 pink blooms add soft color to borders and perennial beds. You can cut the stems to bring the pink blooms indoors in a vase. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Nepeta, and Spanish bluebell.
