Notes
'Age of Victoria' peony (Paeonia 'Age of Victoria') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Strong stems hold large, fragrant, peachy buff blooms washed with pink, and bees and butterflies visit them. Don Hollingsworth bred it in 1996. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Clustered bellflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
