Notes

'Wiesbaden' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Wiesbaden') 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 large double blooms open coral-pink with white edges and age to white. They appear from late spring into early summer. Max Josef Goos bred it.

Pairs well with Siberian iris, Sedge, and Spanish bluebell.
