Notes
'Wonderous Portrait' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Wonderous Portrait') 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. Roger F. Anderson bred it. The single lilac-pink blooms open in mid to late spring and early summer, with lighter edges and white flares. It stands upright to 24 inches tall and needs no support.
Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, Kentucky bluegrass, and Cinnamon fern.
