Notes

'Westhill' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Westhill') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. It bears numerous double, pale pink flowers in early to mid spring. The stems make a full bush but may droop, so you can give them support.

Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
