Notes
'Amazing Light' peony (Paeonia 'Amazing Light') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. The fragrant yellow flowers face upward and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Swenson Gardens bred it, and the upright plants need no support.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Nodding onion, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
