Notes
'Altar of Victory' peony (Paeonia 'Altar of Victory') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers open dark pink and fade to light pink with white edges. Joshua Scholten bred it, and the strong stems stand upright without support.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Big Daddy hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
