Notes
'Yangyan Xuhui' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Yangyan Xuhui') 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. Pink anemone flowers with light yellow centers open in late spring. The upright plants need no support, and they carry narrow-cut green leaves.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, New England aster, and Queen of Night tulip.
