Notes
'Zahadka Khersonesa' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Zahadka Khersonesa') 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. Fragrant, light pink double flowers open in late spring and fade to white. Strong upright stems seldom need support. Vasily Gorobets bred it.
Pairs well with Sedge, Sensitive fern, and Grape hyacinth.
