Notes
'Winnikenni' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Winnikenni') 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 full, rose-pink double flowers sit on strong stems and open late in the peony season. Watch for tight buds that sometimes fail to open.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Sedge, Scentara Double Blue lilac, and Grape hyacinth.
