Notes
'Winnie Winkle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Winnie Winkle') 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. Its large, rose-type pink blooms open in late spring on stiff, upright stems. The plant is vigorous and always blooms. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
