Notes
'Amazing Blush' peony (Paeonia 'Amazing Blush') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, blush-pink, semi-double flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. Swenson Gardens bred it, and plants stay upright without support. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Big Daddy hosta, and Western sword fern.
