Notes
'Amazing Joy' peony (Paeonia 'Amazing Joy') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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, pale yellow, semi-double flowers face upward in spring and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The upright plants reach 28 inches and need no support.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Clustered bellflower, Picture tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
