Notes
'Weigetsuka' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Weigetsuka') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 large pink flowers have a Japanese form, with a full center of narrow petals. Cut the blooms for bouquets and enjoy them indoors. Plant it where the flowers can shine as a focal point.
