Notes
'Amazing Lustre' peony (Paeonia 'Amazing Lustre') 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. Its blush pink, semi-double to double flowers face upward and have a subtle fragrance. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Swenson Gardens bred this upright plant, which grows about 30 inches tall and needs no support.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Guacamole hosta, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
