Notes
'Yu Die' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Yu Die') 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 single pink flowers have feathered petals that look like butterfly wings. The thin stems hold the light, airy blooms without extra support.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Blanket flower, and Royal fern.
