Peony 'Pink Pompadour'

Pink Pompadour is a midseason peony with two-tone fuchsia-pink, tufted bomb-form flowers on strong stems above thick, glossy green foliage. Millcreek Gardens describes the blooms as pleasantly sweet-scented and lists full sun, rich well-drained soil, a 24–36-inch mature height and spread, deer resistance, and cut-flower use. [Millcreek Gardens plant catalog](https://catalog.millcreekplants.com/paeonia-pink-pompadour). ## Garden Use and Growing Conditions Plant it in full sun in rich, well-drained soil. Its fragrant, rounded flowers suit a perennial border or cutting garden. The Millcreek listing gives a Zone 3 label, but it does not explicitly identify the zone system, so that value is not converted here. Illinois Extension advises planting peony roots shallowly and using light fertilizer.

Water while a new plant establishes and during prolonged dry spells. Remove old foliage in early spring; the cultivar listing describes the plant as low maintenance.
